Thanks. Sold another project vehicle and putting a little money into this to get it "ship shape".
Any recommendations on shaft length for a bow mount trolling motor? I'm thinking 54" should be fine (mainly inland lakes)
I unplugged the 2-wire harness coming from the trim motor and made a set of jumper wires that I took from the green/blue leads straight to the +/- terminals on the battery.
Reading the repair manual - it seems it doesn't matter which way I connect them to the blue/green wires - when I touch them to +/- on the battery it should just cycle the motor up or down depending on polarity.
Am I diagnosing this right?
I'm a Mechanical Engineer and I hate this Bzzzzzzt stuff.
All I get are sparks and no lift motor sound (this is taking the relay and all wiring except the pigtail running to the trim motor out of the equation) Is replacing the motor as simple as popping one off and a new one on like a starter on a car? Looks like it is.....
