RE: SV27 RUNTIME SHORT!....BATTERIES?
Have you changed the trim on the boat since you ran it last to correct bouncing or other problems? If the boat runs wetter (bow down) it will use up the batteries much quicker. Are the motor and batteries hot after running? If so you have something draging or binding. If you batteries and motor are cool and your runtime short then your batteries aren't charged fully or taking a full charge. A bad cell could cause this.
