Especially when dealing with wind, tides, and currents.  I really can't understand their reasoning for that it's not like when the motor goes to adjust position while on anchor it uses  100% throttle.  24v motors dominate on the rivers out here even on smaller boats than yours. I run a 36v it's probably  way more thrust than I've ever need it will move my 20ft boat just shy of 5mph and the anchor lock works perfectly.Edit to add I went 36v because I got the garmin to sync with my GPS/fish finder. It can be used as a 24volt but  I figured why spend the money then not utilize it's full capabilities.</blockquote>
