dhami013 Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 When I first bought my marine battery that I use for my trolling motor I got a lot of power out of it. I used a battery charger to charge it and it said it was fully charged. But now when I go out it doesn't feel like I'm getting the same amount of power. Now my trolling motor is a little old and funky but still works. Could it be the battery or the trolling? Any ideas? Quote
NBR Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 It could be either but if the battery is 5 years old I'd bet on it being the problem and if it was 3 years old I'd still suspect the battery. Have your battery load tested. Wal-Mart does it around here. If it's not the battery be sure you don't have a bunch of fish line around the TM shaft and be sure your terminal are corrosion free.

dhami013 Posted March 14, 2011 Author Posted March 14, 2011 The battery is only a few weeks old. So if it was the trolling motor you said the shaft? I didn't seen any visible fishing line on the outside of the trolling motor. Maybe in the blade. I'll have to check it out. Quote
