My friend recently loaned me his used/beat up 50AT. It sat for about a year. Then we put it on my boat. Everything was fine until last night.
I had it on 5 which is the highest setting and it was moving along, then nothing. It cut out. I checked the connections on the battery. They are fine and new as they are one week old.
It rested for a min then worked again, but this time I had it on a lower setting (2) then bumped it up to 5 again and it cut out.
Then it worked, then it didn't and it worked and it didn't.
I guess it could still be other connectors and I will check on that. But my Q is, would a trolling motor that's going on a fritz act like this or just stop working?
Remember this is old 3-4 yrs and has been used and abused.
We're usually fully stocked but you caught me on a bad night!
Tuesday night is usually "board meeting" night if you know what I mean. Stop in and have a tasty beverage some Tuesday night after these holidays are over and things get back to normal.
