Help me trouble shoot... Trolling motor

[dfv87]

Ok my MK v-2 Ipilot does not get power, 24 volt... batteries are good...

I am hooked up Positive on 1 battery and negative on the other with a jump line from unused negative and positive... I have a 2 bank charger (1 to each battery) I have a 50 amp breaker on the system, should that be on the + or -

or does it not matter? it is on the + right now. why am I not getting power to the motor?

Does the Terrova cut the power when it is in the "stowed" position? Try putting the motor down once and see what happens.

[CAMAN]

Breakers and fuses should ALWAYS be on the positive side

Get a multimeter and see if you are getting power on the motor side of the breaker.

Check continuity of wires too.

Yes, terrova cuts power when stowed.

[Big Bobber]

Are all of the connections clean and tight? Has the breaker tripped of fuse blown?

[Chris Barlage]

Do you have this going to a female plug then you have a male plug on you TM? If so make sure you are lining up the wires in the correct position on both plugs, also I second the volt meter. That will tell you your point of fail.

I tried with it down also... I will get a volt meter and figure it out. I thought all the fuses were ok but I will also check those again. I don't think any wires pulled but again... I will try that. Thanks everybody.

I am assuming (yeah, I know the line) your v-2 with i-Pilot has the remote vs foot pedal. Is your remote battery good? Does remote-to-TM signal need to be "learned" again? I know every once in a while my v-2 just wouldn't work. I would point the remote at it and press that "learn" button, it would chirp and then work.

I wish the V2 cut power when stowed. More than once I've stepped on the foot pedal and sent the V2 prop spinning from the stowed position. First time I did that the prop was about 2 feet away from my friend's face as we were unloading at the launch

This may be your problem!

If not do you have a bad breaker? Try by-passing the breaker for a few seconds to check.
