Trolling motor issues?
Yesterday our trip on the Wolf was cut a bit short was our trolling motor quite working.
We had just replaced the battery and had been using it the majority of the day just to position the boat in the current which was drifting us down stream... so it wasn't used excessively at all. At one point it gets tangled up in some weeds and stops. I clean the weeds off and it still wont go? Today I took the prop off and found a bunch of line underneath. I took it all off and she still wont turn. What's more is that it turns(ed) backwards, which is really weird. The prop points forward rather than the head. Consequently I need to point the arrow opposite the direction I want to go. We're getting a voltmeter to make sure power is getting to trolling motor. We know the battery works though because the lights work, and it's brand new (bought Tuesday night). So ANY idea what could be wrong with it?
