I have an older 34 pound thrust trolling motor. It just does'nt seem to have the power that it used to especially at the highest speed, the speed options are 1-5. There seems to be no change in speed between #3 and #4 setting. I have a new deep cycle marine battery that I am using. Has anyone experienced this before.
With the snow cover completely gone and lots of standing water, 60s in the forecast, with plenty of sunny days next week, this may be my last weekend on the ice South of Hwy 210 . Fish have really been on the chew
hey guys..i installed the helix 7. took it out the other day. it keeps randomly shutting down, with the motor off it will stay on no problem. Heres where i think i f'd up. i used the same 3 amp fuse harness from the old sonar that came with the boat, the old hb depth only kind. its wired right to the ignition wire. i used the correct gauge wire where i needed it. im guessing its not getting enough juice?
also if i wired it direct to a separate battery, how do i go about hooking up and on board charger? or would i be ok just wiring direct to the battery that runs the motor?
thanks for any advice.
those musky lures look so bad ass! nice work !!
I think it is a matter of the material involved. Ethanol can corrode some metal and dissolve some organic stuff like rubber or plastic that gasoline doesn't affect. Or so some sources say.
