re: Marine Battery

For a trolling motor, buy a gel-cell if you can. May cost a bit more...but it'll last longer and work better than comparable lead-acid batteries.

What batteries are the lightest? That would probably be his best bet since it's a yak

Ahhh...didn't know that. Thought it was for a smallish boat. In that case, gel-cells are definitely the heaviest. Lead-acid or AGM would be lighter, though probably not by much. Depends on what group size he gets. Could probably find a group size 24 Gel-cell that would be lighter and last longer than a group size 27 lead-acid. You find specs on all the batteries online fairly easily.

Bump for lightweight marine battery suggestions. Just picked up the trolling motor.

Got the minn kota?
In all honesty if it was me I'd go get the lightest walmart deep cycle I could find. You won't run it down in one outing with that small motor on a yak.
And then get one of these to put it in, so you don't connect the poles with a net handle or something, or rip a wire off, and keep it dry
