why is that
i have a 14ft v hull aluminum boat, with 2 new batteries this season. the boat has a 6 yr old 46lb thrust foot controlled motor up front. and a new 55 lb thrust minn kota on the transom, this boat for the last yr or so has always done 4mph on a smooth lake, the last few times out i can only get 3.6mph, is it possible the front motor is losing power, the rear motor is wired direct to the battery, the front motor is a plug in the panel. sort of puzzled.

GPS speed? Locked onto different satellites to trianglate your speed? .4 mph is surely within tolerance of GPS speed measuring
