Stop putting cords around your shaft... terrible tragedy can result from such tomfoolery!

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.

Good Afternoon , Yes It Will And It Will Run As Well , Its Fine To Test It Out Of The Water . Be Carefull Of The Proppeller As It Can Cause Serious Injury To A Person If You Are In The Path Of Its Rotation. You Can Run It For a Short Period As The Water Keeps The Electric Motor Cool.

Your batteries are possibly low on voltage. Have you checked that?
