Hi I have a minn kota riptide 80lb that stopped working, its a 24v.
I had it on about 5 minutes and then it stopped.
I saw later that one battery was leaking and the other completely power drained. These where new batteries, first time out with them.
As the motor was dying, it turned slower and slower till it stopped.
So the next day, I go out and get a replacement battery, and charge them both up, and try it on the motor after they are charged, and it wont go.
this motor has the tiller control, where you turn it handle around, so you can change the speed on it. I noticed that I can turn it around several times now, and cant remember if it was able to do that before or not.
The battery gauge on the motor turn all the way to fully charged when tested.
any ideas?
thanks
