I just purchased a boat that has a Minn Kotta Maxxum Pro, 24V, 80 Lbs thrust bow mount trolling motor. I am getting 24 volts at the connector, however on the highest setting, the speed is like its at 12 volts. The prop will not start moving until you put on at least 4? It did not come with a manual, any suggestions? I cant find a 12/24V switch on it anywhere?

SOURCE: burning out fuses on trolling motor at battery

not enough info. I went the the min kota website, they show four maxxum 80's at different voltages.is it a 12v 24v or larger? without a year model I'll have no reference to what wiring schematic Is the fuse connected inline with the trolling motor? what size amp fuse are you burning up? well I can give you some troubleshooting tips. tools to buy (1) amp gauge. if you are unfamilier with amp gauges make sure you get instruction book with gauge or you could burn yourself. Toubleshooting(1) Remove cover off minn kota trolling motor. black cover ontop of unit were the foot control wires go into.turn over foot control remove cover (2) check for corrosion. any exposed terminals should be cleaned.(3) go to your batteries and clean all connections. make sure the batteries are fully charged.(4) take amp gauge and test positive wire for amp draw as you tun on trollling motor and run it through all speeds. if batteries are in the rear away from trolling motor get a 2nd person to control trolling motor. if the trolling motor is more than a 12v system you will have more than one positive lead to test.GOAL. What your trying to find out is how many amps the trolling motor is really pulling. and at what speeds. under a load in the water and out of the water.how many more amps than the fuse raiting? newer trolling motors come with inline breakers not fuses so I'm guessing your using 30 amp fuses. again without more info i can only guess.

Will a 12 volt lawn and garden battery run my 24 lb thrust minn kotta

Yes but not for long. You need to buy a deep cycle battery. Regards Phil.

Have a Minn Kota Riptide 70lb thrust 24 volt. While lifting the motor the cables were cut. We spliced them with a heavy duty connector and it worked fine for several weeks. Now the motor will not run on...

Does the splice get hot when you are running the motor? If yes, then the splice could certainly be the problem. I would have replaced the wire completely. However, the problem more than likely is the controller.

Minn Kota 65lb thrust 24v

Hello!
Your unit was desined to run on 24 Volts.
The control unit (electronics) will not run below 19 Volts (19 or 20, I can't remember) and the armature windings and magnets are designed for 24V as well. So, an easy answer is no your unit will not operate in 12volts.
Hope this helps out!

If you never did this before , I strongly advise take it to a local shop....if you don't seal it correctly, you will end up buying a new one for water getting in.... I fix alot of things on my boat but not the trolling motor....your choice....GL
