hows it going guys,
ok it all happened my first day back out on thewater. the day before i had sterted the motor took a while to start the next morning i launched took a little to start the motor but i got it started went out going fine running at about 5800 to 6000 rpm ii spent most of the morning motoring to different spots on the lake so i fished a long shore line for about 2 hours went to go start the motor wasnt firing well so then my battery died ? i switched the cables to the trolling motor battery got it to start so i come out its running a little sketchy but my rpms are at around 6000 eventually after about 3 minutes it slowly began dropping rpms down to about 3000 on full throttle so i motored in going about 15 mph the whole way almost 30 minutes got to the ramp and decided its time to go home
okay why did the battery die shouldnt it be getting charged and secondly why did it drop down to half power wen it was running good for most of the day
thanks alot
