I run 2 Optima Blue Tops with my Minkota 24v Fortrex with US2 and have had no problems and had plenty of power all day. I also run a Troll-Bridge which charges the Trolling Batteries as the big motor is running. It also supplies extra power to start the motor should the starting battery (also an Optima Blue Top) is weak. I spent 3 days at Clear Lake last week and never plugged my charger in once !!

when speaking of a Mnnkota trolling motor the US2 = Universal Sonar 2
You should have no problem with that group of Optima's for the size trolling motor you are running. The Optima's charge fast, have long lasting power and are 100% maintenance free, amongst other great characteristics.
