amp meter?

Finally got my canoe set up to enjoy the local rivers and gulf coast in style - electric trolling motor et al

Unfortunately my paranoia about running out of go juice is always in
my head - sure my buddy and I can paddle a few miles but ....

So I need a "gas gauge" (and a second battery at some point)

My motor has a useless one - impossible to see in the sun and even then it is "full", "eh halfsies" and "get ready to paddle"

I want something a little more granular (so I can plan on the 1/3 rule left over from my cave diving days) and more importantly visible

Dont need fancy console mounting etc - just something I can put inline when I hook up my motor etc

Suggestions?
