Thnaks for all the info, I am beginning to sort out some of the things I have been thinking.

I will test the voltage in the next few days and get back to the board.

Reason I ask. I bought a new boat this year and I did not catch nearly the numbers of fish I have caught in the past couple of years. Everything was the same, presentation, gear, speed, just not nearly as many fish. I am obviously looking for things that could make the difference.
