exactly what I needed! pushed those battery for 6-7 years!!! Wasnt turning on right, wasnt staying on spot- thanks!!! Load test, I hear, should be 12.6v

Just Bought 2 Brand New Batteries And Are Fully charged And still im in this reduced power mode 😞

Did you figure out why? Mine worked awesome last year, this year speed 10 feels like 3 and when in speed 4 or above wont steer......Hopefully just a battery

[@robbyddurham1624]

can you put a volt meter at the input of the trolling motor and see if it's getting all the voltage from the batteries when under load? maybe two voltmeters one at the batteries and one at the trolling motor. A bad connection or too small of wires can drop the voltage across the wire. example. 25volts at the battery and only 20 volts at the trolling motor under load (while motor is pulling)
