False,
You can use an auto battery but it is not wise.
1. It will run the charge down quicker than a deep cell battery.
2. Then...how will you start your automobile.
I've done it before back in my poverty stricken college days.
A few Years ago my battery died on the other side of the lake..Paddled to shore walked all around to my truck took out my battery walked all the way back to the boat and trolled her on home and still had juice to start the truck...Also on a side note..It is allways nice to have extra propellers and shear pins and locknuts...Rowing sucks...Found this out after I bought my first row boat that I didn't really want to row..And the prop hit a rock and I wasn't moveing..Here what happened I broke the shear pin andthe prop was tight against the lock nut and I spun the propeller off..No extra pins or lock nuts..Got the prop back but what good was it without the nut or shear pin to hold it on???No oars to boot... Allways have them with me now....Memories....
