Will your trolling motor pull you 3 plus mph or do you use the big motor? I have an 80lb xi5 on a 17 ft alum and can only get 2.7

I get a touch over 3 with an 80lb Terrova.

Check your batteries. With a 24V system, you're only as strong as the weakest battery.

Trimming up the outboard helps a lot more than you might think as well, although things can get a little hairy if it's windy, without a "rudder" keeping the stern in check.

Be careful with those trolling motor wires, they can catch fire !

I check mine frequently if I am using it hard.
