Can I safely use this to extend the distance from the 40lb thrust trolling motor to a battery that is approximately 10 feet away?

yes you can,the extension is 10 gauge copper wire giving plenty of capacity.

I've got a 12volt everlast marine battery. Seemed a little big for my pontoon but it works just fine. Don't have a fish finder yet but depending on the size of boat your using I'm sure connecting it to the battery wouldn't hurt. That's what I plan on doing.

You should have cables with clips on your trolling motor that will connect to the battery.

Yeah, just make sure you get the right battery. I'd suggest a more powerful troll though, low speed isn't going to do much for you on this one.

I would think. I use it to jump my motor home which is stored. This has a lot of power and jumped a dead battery instantly.

You could have this 10 amp circuit wired to a relay with its own direct power supply from the battery and that will allow you to up the current to your accessories to 30-40A.

I have mine on a party barge so I don't travel that fast very often. But I don't see why not. I had left it up once when pulling it on the trailer at 50 - 55 for about 4 miles without a problem. The best thing to do is check with the manufacture for their recommendations.

It really should not matter, you should just account for the resistance (from the distance) in the wire to know how much power you are loosing between this and your batteries. My charge controller is about two feet away from my battery.

I don't see any reason why that wouldn't work as long as it is a 12 volt battery and you put in a fuseable 30 amp link which can be purchased at any hardware or automotive supply store. You may need to sort out the connection between the battery pack and their socket connection. I have seen people with motorized whelchairs/scooters add such a connection off their battery that powers their mode of trnsportation and the lift worked just fine.

May work for a little while. This battery is meant for smaller applications such as fish finders. A trolling motor needs more amperage, like a lawn mower or car battery.

Doubtful. This cable is only 48" long. I also don't know of many (any?) batteries that have a female socket to accept the other end of this cable. This kind of cable is usually used to power such things as air compressors to inflate tires, etc.

I will answer as complete as I can for you. Can you make a wire run with jumper clips on it That can attach to your boat battery and to a terminal on the wall inside of boat house and attach the solar panel to that no more then 8-10 ft. The panel comes with several different types of connectors for the panel end good luck it should be easy to do ?

You need to size the adapter for the current the motor draws to keep it from melting or catching fire. For 12 volt trolling motors it's about 1 amp for each foot pound of thrust. A 55 foot pound motor will draw about 55 amps at full speed. A 20 amp receptacle and plug can't stand that much current. Use the ring terminals supplied with the motor and attach directly to a deep cycle battery.

Yes, it can. You can extend the distant you want, it does not have to be fully retracted.

THE CORD MUST HAVE thick copper wire and don't go longer than 30 to 50 feet or ...the motor runs very hot ad will burn up easily on hot days...AND IF YOU CAN'T REACH AN AREA don't use an extension or the same thing happens, better to have someone qualified run a seperate receptacle to help you reach there. remember, no thin cheap wire...or else

Not sure how far you want to go. I have used it with a 100 foot extension cord with no problem. If you are worried, go with a gas blower.

sure it will power it but I dont think very long, one would have to know the current or power draw of your motor. I use it to power my fish finder and use a marine battery for the trolling motor ... go all day with the bigger battery .. so I would not depend on this little battery last long on a trolling motor.
