[QUOTE="Allen, post: 344723, member: 389"] Yeah, I'd have to think it is most certainly underperforming. I run a 24V, 80 LB Ulterra on a 17.5 ft Lund Fisherman. I get up to 4 mph with it on there under the calm conditions. I also use that same 80 lb motor on my 22 ft tritoon and it pushes that well over 2.5 mph. The toon in particular should be heavier and less efficient than your Ranger. As noted above, if there's anything in between your batteries and the trolling motor that is limiting the current the motor is requesting, it should be glowing from the heat of serving as an unintended restriction. Maybe to confirm if it's the batteries and not the motor, do you know anyone who also has a 36V setup that would allow you to swap out the motors? It wouldn't take long to put the blame on the motor or the electrical supply. [/QUOTE]
