what kind of trolling motor is it?
minnkota uses pwm in their 'maximizer' series. they claim 5 times longer at low speeds or something like that if i recall.
go for it, and if it's a 12V consider running on 24V. this is done all the time and has a few advantages.

play sample(Lyrics by Richard A Lewis & Larry Hayes; Tune "Rawhide" by Dmitri Tiompkin.)
Trollin', trollin', trollin',
Trollin', trollin', trollin',
Trollin', trollin', trollin',
Trollin', trollin', trollin'. Walleye!
Trollin', trollin', trollin',
Lakes and streams are swollen,
Fingers nearly frozen. Walleye!
Through wind and rainy weather,
We're in this boat together,
Six packs, lures, and leeches by our side.
I've been drowning shiners,
Searching with depth finders,
Tryin' to get a big one on the line.
(Chorus:) Bait 'em up, cast 'em out,
Cast 'em out, bait 'em up,
Bait 'em up, cast 'em out. Walleye!
Gut 'em out, fry 'em up,
Fry 'em up, gut 'em out,
Gut 'em out, fry 'em up. Walleye!
Keep movin', movin', movin',
Though they're disapprovin',
We'll find out where they're schoolin'. Walleye!
My heart is contemplatin'
A big fish that's a-waitin',
Waitin' at the end of my line.
Don't try to understand 'em,
Just set the hook and land 'em.
Soon we'll be listenin' to 'em fry.
Bait 'em up, cast 'em out,
Cast 'em out, bait 'em up,
Bait 'em up, cast 'em out. Walleye!
Gut 'em out, fry 'em up,
Fry 'em up, gut 'em out,
Gut 'em out, fry 'em up. Walleye!
(Lead guitar solo)
Bait 'em up, cast 'em out,
Cast 'em out, bait 'em up,
Bait 'em up, cast 'em out. Walleye!
Gut 'em out, fry 'em up,
Fry 'em up, gut 'em out,
Gut 'em out, fry 'em up. Walleye!
Trollin', trollin', trollin',
Trollin', trollin', trollin',
Trollin', trollin', trollin',
Trollin', trollin', trollin'. Walleye!
