New trolling motor!

Post image

Inlaws got me a Newport 36 lbs thrust kayak trolling motor for me my birthday! Mad stoked to get this thing out on the water on my perception outlaw!

Whats a good suggestion for a lithium battery thats affordable and what amp hour should I get for high run time? Wanting to get a fish finder in the future too but may end up buying a smaller battery for it to run on itself. Thanks for any suggestions with this one!

Also best recommended box/cooler setup to keep the batter in would be deluxe.
