[#0000ff]No one's offended. Your portacruise post is saying that you run the batteries in series? Am I right in assuming this? So you run 24v. And the motor's standing up to it.
Why two batteries for 24v. You say 'turbo' speed. That's a lot of weight. Even with two smaller batteries. Is it just an experiment?
But I'd like to know what is your reasoning behind it (it's all curiosity). I have a MinnKota 5 speed that I use once in a while, I'm not really in a hurry to go from point a to point b. If I want to get there fast, I use my oars. Very little effort and a little exercise to boot. Don't get me wrong, I think it's kind of a cool idea, although some here might think I'm trying to get in your face. I just want to know what the advantages are. Your fishing style or the target fish, or just an inventors brainchild.[/#0000ff]
