Helpful Expert Reply:
The A-iPower 3,000-Watt (starting "surge" power output is 3,800 watts) Portable Inverter Generators # 289-SUA2000I-2 are rated for 8.3 amps 12V DC power individually. Since they are run in parallel that increases to 16.6 amps.
This could potentially be enough power depending on your trolling motor size, but you will need to do some checking on your end to make sure.
