Got a 10-foot boat running on a trolling motor and LIPO4 battery. Never came close to running the battery down, plenty of juice.
What if I slaved another motor to it? Would they interfere with one another’s thrust?
I’m guessing here, but I think it would help some but they would need to be sync’d: same prop for both, some sort of load sensing and adjustment mechanism.
You you might be able to get a different prop that puts more load on the motor though.

Better bet would be just a bigger motor, or gas power if you can plane. Two motors need a rudder or coordinated pivots that get finicky to mess with.
