MD, Mirage fins act a lot like wings. The closer they get to another surface (like the kayak bottom, the less efficient they get. "Squeezing" the water as you put it slows it down due to turbulence, and that lowers thrust.
Flygoddess, while I don't own a powered pontoon these days, I had a bass boat for years. The hum from its trolling motor definitely startled fish. The motor produces a high-pitched whine and the propeller can cavitate, making a high screech. We may not be able to hear it, but fish sure can.
