    Ultrex observation

    Got maybe 10 fishing trips on new Ultrex now.
    I have observed that batteries charging time is substantially reduced.
    I have deducted that Ultrex doesn't require as much battery juice to go.
    Are others see reduced charging time?
    If this proves out to continue we may be able to drop down a group size on batteries.
    Something to think about!

    Wait till you spot lock in the wind where you may have just made a pass before it will gobble up some juice. But one can argue it's like the cruise control in a car getting better mpgs than the average driver using their foot.

    I have replaced well used trolling motors before that the new ones used noticbly less battery during a days fishing.
