shop.motorguide.com/products/motors/freshwater/tour-pro.html
The MotorGuide Tour Pro 109 lb (36 V, 45" shaft, cable steer) is a trolling motor with 109 lb, a 36 V system and a peak draw of 41 A.
Last updated: 16 September 2026
What we found
- 7 battery models are matched as running it across 3 brands, by setting each maker's published figures against the other — neither names the pairing, 5 of them needing more than one pack in series.
- 12 V deep cycle marine batteries.
- Sonar must not run off the trolling motor battery.
- Published as 36 V · 41 A · 109 lb.
- 23 specifications are published for it, each with the source it was read from.
Assembled from the evidence on this page. Every figure and count below is shown with the source it was read from.
At a glance
That is a peak, not a continuous rating. The maker publishes no continuous draw for this — see below for what they say about it — so a pack sized on the figure above is sized for the worst moment rather than for the load it will hold.
The maker’s own installation requirements: 50-amp (good) or 60-amp (best) manual reset circuit breaker, 10-gauge included, not extended beyond 1.8 m (6 ft); 8-gauge beyond that. A battery that meets the draw does not make the wiring optional.

What battery it needs
- What the maker says about capacity
- No figure — the maker says only that higher is better
- Cable supplied, and how far it may run
- 10-gauge as supplied; 8 mm² (8-gauge) for longer runs
- What must not share this battery
- Sonar must not run off the trolling motor battery
- How close the breaker must be
- Within 1.8 m (6 ft) of the batteries
- Standard the breaker must meet
- Breaker must suit isolation to IEC 60947-2
- When it must not be charged
- Do not charge with the motor deployed
- Circuit breaker it requires
- 50 A (good) or 60 A (best), manual reset
- Whether the engine battery may be used
- A dedicated trolling motor battery or bank
- Battery type the maker recommends
- 12 V deep cycle marine batteries
“As a general rule, deep cycle batteries with a higher amp-hour rating or reserve capacity rating will provide longer run times and better performance.”

“We have identified an issue on the Tour Pro trolling motor that may cause unintended behavior while in Anchor mode. This could cause the user to lose temporary control of the boat heading or position. We have determined that the motor should be inspected by a dealer, and in the meantime, should not be used in Anchor mode. All other functionality of the motor is not affected, and the motor may be used in all other modes.”

Batteries documented to run this
The figures below line up. Neither manufacturer states that this pack runs this device — that is our reading of what each of them published separately, not a claim by either of them or a test by us. Even where every stated figure agrees, these can still decide it:
- A motor’s published draw is usually a peak, not the load it holds — the two numbers are not the same kind of quantity
- A maker’s amp-hour minimum and their reserve-capacity minimum can give different answers about the same battery
- Conditions attached to the chemistry, such as a speed limit for running on lithium
- Whether the pack may be wired in series at all, where the device needs 24 or 36 volts
- The charger, which both makers put conditions on and neither supplies
- Case size, hold-down and terminal type — fitting the space is not being secured in it
Worth confirming with the manufacturer or a dealer before buying.

Three of these, identical to each other, wired in series for 36 V.

Only within Redodo's ceiling of 120 lb of thrust for a 36 volt motor on three packs in series, which this motor's 109 lb is
The packs must be identical to each other — the maker's rule says so, and mixing capacities or ages in series is how one cell group ends up carrying the bank.
