We went full throttle under the misconceived notion that, if 1/4 throttle was only giving us 950 rpm and 1 kt, full throttle should give us more. Erroneously, it seems. :-/
I have a CAL 2-29 with an Electric Yacht 180ibl motor.

I don't think you were getting more than knot of boat speed more at full throttle compared to a 1/4 - 1/3 throttle setting. You should be able to motor many hours at a 20 amp draw or so. What kind of boat do you have?
