Good, bad, diminishing gains for use in a brackish coastal marsh? Early or late seasson? Weather conditions? Other?

You're over thinking it.

Only use sunny days during first split

Sunny days only IMO. Later in the season, put them further away from your hole. If hunting timber in late season, put em behind trees or in brush away from your hole. Just let them see an occasional flicker.
Our field mojos are hard wired so we can turn em on and off easily. We have a lot of high flyers, and I think they help breaking birds that would normally keep going. We just shut em off once they break.

I am a guest but the blind owner wants to set up three of them from a boat in the dark each day. I think he has had success and overvalues their effectiveness.
Just like an argumement not to use.

They work great for teal, but we do a lot better shooting big ducks (especially mallards) without using them. We'll often put one out for the first 20-30 minutes, then pull it. Jerk rig works a lot better IMO.

Why the sunny days? Please explain.

don't be lazy. set the mojo's up.

Because the little flash of sun on the wings during sunny days isn't there when it's cloudy.

good point, and i never thought of that. you have proof or just observations?
hijack/ps: i set up a mojo duck in my dove field once and didn't have a problem. doves still came by for a look.

That's just the general thought process I've taken from lots of different people's opinions. I don't have enough data to prove it statistically but in my experience it doesn't seem to help on a cloudy day.

Less visible/less effective on cloudy days.
When ducks (namely mallards/pins/gad/wig) start to take their sweet time working into the spread......the constant steady wingbeat seems to unnerve them/make them uneasy.
