How fast does your trolling motor pull your boat?
I just purchased a new Ranger RP190 with an Ulterra 24v 80lb thrust trolling motor. Will be using it to both push and pull for crappie. When I tested it this weekend the most it would do was 2.7-3.0mph. There was some wind, wouldn't call it a stiff breeze but into the wind 2.7 was the max.
Just wondering if any of you guys with similar rigs (like a Ranger RT188 with Terrova) have any gps number on your top speed?
I won't be trolling that fast a lot but into the wind if the motor is constantly working hard I'm afraid the batteries won't last all day...
