    Up will save battery. Down will act as rudder in wind. So I use a bit of each.as high as wind will allow.
    Crappie bite twice a day. 15 minutes before I get there and 10 minutes after I leave.

    The two loudest sounds are a gun that goes click when it is supposed to go bang and
    a gun the goes bang when it is supposed to go click.

    1.6 is a good start, watch your turns. You will see that you catch a good many fish in a turn, if the outside poles catch a fish you may want to speed up, if the inside poles catch a fish you may want to slow down.
