After "re-wiring" minn kota all terrain 55 prop is spinning "backwards"
Long story short, but I had an old Minn Kota 55 AT 12V sitting in the floor of my shed for 2 years. Decided to see what was wrong with it and drop it off for some service. Well that is another story as the I got into a dispute with the shop performing the work (no estimate given when promised it would be prior to work starting, called and told to come pay almost 90$ for repaired motor
).
ANyway, when I asked them what was wrong they said some "wiring was broken" inside. OK, whatever. I take off new trolling motor and place this guy on the boat and take it on a shakedown run. Point the motor straight (looking at the actual head in the water not the indicator up top), hit the foot control and go backwards. HAHA, sure enough I spin the head around and hit the button and go forward.
I'm not taking the motor back to this shop and just want to get this working correct so I can try to sell it on craigslist or something.
Is it possible the wiring is backwards to cause this or do they have a gear flipped?
Thanks.
