Looking for input on my MinKota Terrova 101 36v trolling motor. The prop turns on and only runs super slow like speed number 1. When you change speeds the remote numbers go up to 10 like they are supposed too but the speed doesn't change at all. After testing I have found there is definitely 36v going into the board but a consistent 3 volts comes out regardless of the speed it's on.
Here's what has been done. ..
1. Rebuild kit including brushes, bearing and polish of armetuer contacts. Spacing of armetuer contacts checked/cleaned.
2. Tried voltage test in and out of board while using the cordless remote and the wired foot pedal. Same result with either device.
3. Fuses changed just for good measure. The old ones tested fine.
4. A set of new batteries tried. I normally use 6 batteries but broke the banks apart for testing. Still 36v in, 3v out regardless of speed setting.
Any new ideas or tips would be great. The control board is very expensive. If there is a component that commonly goes out I'm experienced at soldering so that in information would be helpful as well. Thank you for your time!
