Make sure the motor turns freely by hand. If not, check to be sure there is no foreign material wrapped around the shaft, like fishing line or weeds.
if the motor spins freely and still won't run the brushes may be stuck or worn out.
You can buy a (Battery Switch) that controls all your batteries. Where ever you turn the dial is what bank you will be using.
As far as The trolling motor go get a three prong plug, female male ground and stand by. The wiring is so simple it you do this.
I'm installing a Minn Kota Power Drive 70# on my Crestliner Fishhawk. I understand the 24 volt system. however the boat has 2 black, an orange and a red wire running to the batteries. I know black to neg. but where do the orange and red wires go.
You should only run the motor with a 24v battery or two 12v batters 'jumped' out. To jump the two batteries, connect the positive on one batter to the negative on the other battery and hook the trolling motor battery cables up to positive and negative terminals that are NOT jumped out as you would normally. Don't run this with 12v as you will have serious problems if you do. They do not make a 65lb thrust in 12v - too much pound thrust to run off of 12v.
Raventrans click this link to take you to a website which will you can click on schematics. I suggest adding a 50 amp fuse for your 70 lb thrust unit. scroll to the end of the schematic to find the battery hookup for a 24 volt hookup.
