Beeping sound on Trolling Motor

[TSCTSC]

I have a 2001 MinnKota #55 trolling motor. I wired it up to a brand new Cabela AGM 24 series battery dual purpose. It ran like for 20 minutes against strong current with my copilot and then beeped a few times and stopped responding.

After changing to another battery which is a solely deep cycle Trojan 27 series, it continued to run but the copilot was not working no more although I had just changed to battery on the remote the day before.

After another 20-30 minutes, I get another series of beeps. I press the charge status of the trolling motor and it says recharge. I check my battery with my portable battery status indicator and they are both still full.

THis is very mysterious, what is the deal here?

Bump...any help or advice at all?

I would check the power levels at the trolling motor end of the wiring. You maybe have a wire/plug going bad somewhere between the motor and the battery. I would also give MinnKota a call to see what the beeps are. There is typically a pattern to the beeps that indicates a specific trouble. Might even be in your owner's manual.
