The main use for my boat is fishing for bass on reservoirs. Our bass inhabit dense shoreline cover as well as deep off shore structure. Moving slowly while casting to specific targets is typical for this type of fishing and boat control is critical to success. My Minn Kota trolling motor communicates with the Humminbird depth finder and is capable of following specific contours, navigating routes with numerous waypoints, holding the boat on offshore waypoints and maintaining a set speed during any of those operations even in wind and current, all with minimal input from my as I continue to cast.
Thanks for the advice and I will search old messages and ask questions as I learn more about possible gains.

Welcome Tom.I'm curious - why not use the Ray for fishing? Is the low speed control not fine enough? Or is it too noisy? You'd gain some efficiency if you could connect all your battery capacity to the same motor, since you'd reduce Peukert losses.There are many places to look for efficiency gains - batteries, wiring, motor controllers, propellers, drag of the hull and the motor at speed. Start searching old messages, and asking questions. But if what you have now works for you, then great - enjoy it.
