[QUOTE="onthewater102, post: 465592, member: 13702"] I recently used an Edge on a 1448 and you're right, the first two speeds are borderline worthless on anything but glass-calm water. Wind was the issue for me, no different than fighting current though in the end. The digitally adjusted variable speed units are better, the useless range in the settings is only about 20% of the adjustment range rather than the 40%-60% you're dealing with. You can easily retrofit your Edge with such a control pedal using the control boards from one of the Maxxum 55#'s for ~$120 or so, or you can invest in a larger 24v system with the variable speed (not 5 position switched speed).
