trolling motor blues

[procraftmark]

another question as it is tuff being a mechanical tard<br /><br />I have a old 595 minnkota bow mount 36 lbs thrust my question is this when i run it out of the water it turns what I think is way slow I have an 37 lb bow mount motor guide and ran it off the same battery to compare it and the mg turns about twice as fast as the mk! this is surely not right<br /><br /> I have the mk on a 1985 procraft it has a 12v and a 12/24v and a 12v charge position on the switch but it doesn't make any diff what switch pos it is on. On high speed which is 5 it runs about as fast as it should on 2-3.<br /><br />btw as you can problably tell by my post this is my first bass boat, what does the 12v charge position do on the selector switch?<br /><br />thnx<br />mark

Re: trolling motor blues

On most 12/24v systems, this lets you charge your batteries back through this plug. That way you don't have to charge each battery seperate. If your trolling motor is just a 12 motor, then the only thing you might do on the 24v side is burn it up. Get you a meter and check the plug in each posistion and see what kind of readings you get. If it is wired up right, then you should get around 12v in the 12v posistion, more in the 24v. posistion and somewhere around 12v. in the charge posistion. Hope this helps out and I'm sure other's will jump in here.
