Went fishing with my neighbor this morning. Whacked em on a buzz bait. Loved it! Anyway we took his boat and his trolling motor quit again. He has new batteries. Its a 54lb MinnKota probably a 2002 like his boat. Anyway, it just quit suddenly and wouldnt turn on at all in the water and then when we got home it would turn on but at full speed it was barely going. Then if you shut it off and turned it back on, it wouldnt move. Like there was not power. Almost seems like a short to me. Any idea what would cause that or what he should check. He is too stubborn to take it in. Seems like it's had issues since I've know him. I told him I would post and see if anyone could recommend anything. Thanks!
