I jerked the guts out = wired it direct, put it on boat plugged it in = no go, that's when I investigated the plug,
The hot wire had corroded into = Duh ! ! ! !
Problem is, I also took control handle apart and little bitty stuff went everywhere = non repairable (by me)......
So am going to use it either full bore (24V) or switch batt cables around and run at half speed (12V) ....
Actually full bore is too fast so will probably run it at half speed (12V) being it is an 80lb thrust half speed
will be @ 40 lb thrust etc, etc .........
I love learnin stuff the hard way = it's so much fun (NOT) ! ! ! ! !
