Minn Kota Endura 30 Freshwater Transom Mount Trolling Motor - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

the coil pack is likely bad especially since you changed the switch. call minkota and get the bench tast info (very simple) and then order and replace the coil pack about 26 dollars. be very careful how you put the magnet assembly back together and mark the position of the case on the outside before disassembly. order a new seal kit and use locktite on the shaft again when reassemling to seal the shaft tube for water. dont run motor uout of the water much as it uses the water to cool the shaft and you can damage the seals. good luck.

Remedy? Get better equipment...

Hey Chris,, you are starting a project (or wanting to) that is going to be problematic... It will be easier to go buy a new trolling motor with the money you are going to spend attempting this conversion... the newer trolling motors are so much more efficient...

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

You should only run the motor with a 24v battery or two 12v batters 'jumped' out. To jump the two batteries, connect the positive on one batter to the negative on the other battery and hook the trolling motor battery cables up to positive and negative terminals that are NOT jumped out as you would normally. Don't run this with 12v as you will have serious problems if you do. They do not make a 65lb thrust in 12v - too much pound thrust to run off of 12v.

It depends on the Amp/Hour rating of the battery and the amount of current your motor draws on setting 1.

Same problem. Bought motor used. Can't figure it out.

It is possible that the wires were reversed on the plate that holds the brushes. Since the motor is running backwards, the polarity is reversed and must be corrected for the motor to run correctly. I’m happy to help further over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/jeremy_69f3cc28d95bf514

Lower drive unit seals? I need a model number to assist or the exact size of the seal if you know it.

The Endura 40 is a 12V motor. To get off a bit cheaper go to a place that sells car batteries and get a sealed maintenance free battery.

You will need a 100 to130 amp hour deep cycle marine battery. Check prices of many brands in your area. (WalMart, Autozone, boat dealers,ect.)

I have an Endura 30 also and haven't been able to find an owner's manual or a service manual. I did find a schematic which is almost as good as a service manual. It gives an exploded view of the entire assembly as well as names and part numbers for each part. It's all I needed to order parts & repair mine. It is even done in such a way as to illustrate how it comes apart and goes together.

First is check for loose connections on cables and so on. Hopefully it is just a bad hookup. Loose wire, corrosion, nice easy stuff to find and fix.

If it just stopped and after that point you didn't see any life at all then I would think the controller board inside had failed. This controls or varies the speed of the motor. Unfortunetly thats going to be a shop job.

The good news is you should have a two year warrenty on that. So if you contact minnkota they should tell you where to drop it off to get fixed or replaced. The minnkota web page is www.minnkotamotors.com You can look at your warrenty and supoprt info from there.

and if you are in Ossian then the closest dealer they list is

That should get you fixed up.

the first thought for me is that things are heating up due to too much amperage being drawn by the motor or a loose connection.you will needs to check the specs on that motor to tell and need to know what normal readings are which minkota will gladly supply you.
but ..cause it happens to more than one ..it means that the switches you use..are not fit for the amperage this motor is working with ..Call the support (number is on the motor) ..and see what tip they recommend...
