Thread: Got a little more than supper!

the trolling motor on my boat has a overload switch that has to be Manually reset on the battery connection

Thanks for all the comments. I pulled out the multimeter and checked the plug. Getting power at the plug outlet. Then I pulled the foot pedal apart. Continuous switch is getting the right ohm reading so I know it’s good. The micro switch however gave me different ohm readings a few hours apart, so hopefully the problem lies there. Gonna go ahead and replace that and the rotary switch and hope that fixes the problem.

Thanks. I checked the 2 circuit breakers at the battery but they didn’t need to be reset. I guess they could be bad though. May change those if changing the switches doesn’t work.

Nice catch!
Sorry about the TM...
I have no advice bc you lost me with “back strap”.......

Test don't guess. Use your multi meter. Do some voltage drop test. You tube is your friend. Look up vd testing. Just make sure you test under load. HTH

Hopefully the trolling motor is a simple fix. But a “woods & waters”, venison & fish, meal sounds like a fine feast.

My switches came in yesterday and I changed them out last night. I am happy to say that I am back in business! Thanks for all the replies.
