Great white trolling motor,bow mount,24 volt, 82lb thrust / big problems! Burned up Marinco plug,replaced plug,recetacle,fuses on. batteries, tech says motor runs fine on bench,but not on boat. Getting 24 volts at receptacle,but volts drop when motor is plugged in! Help! Thanks,sam vitter

Do you mean you can hear the motor turn but the propellor doesn't turn?
Then check the break-pin of the propellor. It's a security device that will break when the propellor hits an object in the water...

Maybe the pin is sheated on the prop...or something is caught in it..
check the prop.

what handle, there is no handle.

max is 56amps on 24v system

Here is a picture of the wire connection for 24 volt. Compare to yours is it correct? If it is, I wish you listed make and model I could of sent you the right picture diagram of you motor. Use this picture as a starting point. Test the wires through the motor testing for 24 volts. Again if I knew make and model I could show you exactly were. Last if voltage is correct all the way through. The motor is the last thing to tear down. If the brushes or armeture is damaged in anyway, or manufactured wrong, it would lead to power loss.

12 Volt

I use Red Hot Mama batteries. These have held up for longer than any other brands that I have used. These are deep cycle marine wet ones.

if it is 24v. then you need to connect 2 battery in parallel. since the battery is only 12v.
if one battery is shoing red and the other is sohwing green, that means you are using 12v only, not the 24v.
connetion as follow:
positve of battery 1 to the motor, the negative of battery 1 to postive of battery 2. the negative of battery 2 to the motor.

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.
