Abstract
Battery Gauge for Trolling Motor is a gauge for measuring the amount of voltage remaining in a boat battery. The preferred embodiment of the invention utilizes a gauge having a scale, a battery level indicator, cables and cable terminals to connect to battery terminals. To use the preferred embodiment of Battery Gauge for Trolling Motor, an individual would attach the cable terminals to the battery terminals of a boat using the securing wingnut. The battery level indicator can then be monitored on the gauge to determine when the battery power is at a critical level. Ideally, the gauge would be placed on the trolling motor, near the boat battery housing or on the dash of the boat.
