The MotorGuide Tour Pro 82 lb (24 V, 45" shaft, cable steer) is a trolling motor with 82 lb, a 24 V system, a peak draw of 56 A and a 24 pack.

Last updated: 30 October 2026

What we found

Battery models are matched as running it across several 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 24 V · 56 A · 82 lb.
Specifications are published for it, each with its source.
1 figure is contradicted by another credible source. Both readings are shown below, and neither is presented as the correct one.

At a glance

System voltage 24 VPeak draw 56 A82 LB thrust

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.

Note that 56 A is higher than the smallest breaker the maker names above (50 A). That is our arithmetic from their own two figures, not a statement about which breaker to fit — read the manual for your own motor before choosing one.

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:

The device’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 device's manufacturer or a dealer before buying.

“This product is suitable for 12V trolling motors up to 70lb thrust; 2*identical batteries in series for 24V trolling motors up to 100lb thrust; 3*identical batteries in series for 36V trolling motors up to 120lb thrust.”

Only within Redodo's ceiling of 100 lb of thrust for a 24 volt motor on two packs in series, and this motor's 82 lb is within it — check yours before buying.

Only within LiTime's ceiling of 100 lb of thrust for a 24 volt motor on two packs in series, and this motor's 82 lb is within it — check yours before buying.

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.
