Minnkota 65 all terrain runs slow in all speeds

SOURCE: how does the minn kota 65 all terrain run on 24

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.

You need to check first that the output drive semiconductors aren't overheating and malfunctioning, this indeed sounds like a thermal issue? If not that then check the motor, it maybe overheating? Also I am fairly sure you have a? bad battery, too, this is evidenced by what you relate and to how the battery acts when used and recharged. I suspect, that these batteries, well one or both have developed a "Memory" and as such are failing, to deliver full power and recharge properly. I think new batteries will make things work properly again.
