Re: Motorguide GWB80v......repair or replace????
The relay isn't the problem. I have one that has a small 8 pin device from TI that is burned. The burn is on the top of the device where the part number is, therefore I can't read it. This part is not the problem, rather a casualty of the downstream mosfet which I'm struggling to identify. I have a seperate post in that if someone can locate a schematic, I will figure this out. Once I figure it out, hopefully replacing $10 worth of components, I will post for all to see. I can't find the schematic anywhere. All they want to do is force people to spend another $450 for no good reason. Fine, the design may not be the cats meow, but I'll keep throwing $10 every other year until the rest of the motor wears out, at which time it will be justified to spend the money for a new TM or better yet a new boat. Please look for my seperate post to respond.
