I took apart my Powerdrive V2 50 trolling motor because it wasn't working. But now i can't figure out the electrical and which wire connects where. I need a picture or description of how to put it back together

My opener was flaky- intermittently going on and off. I could bang it and it would do the same thing so this suggested a loose connection somewhere. This wasn't a unit with the battery backup.
Safety note- don't take apart unless you first unplug the entire unit!!! I took it apart and there were two circuit boards- a logic board and a power supply board (latter was smaller of the two). I took out the power supply board and examined the solder joints on the back. I found one that was cracked (this soldered a connector pin), and another that looked like it wasn't good (not shiny). I resoldered and this fixed the problem.
Another time my wall control acted up (this has the IR sensor and buttons). There is not much room around the screws on the backside for connecting the wires. One of the wires was a little long and shorting out to a nearby component.
If you have already replaced the control boards and the trolling motor still seems to lose track of its location, there are a few other things you can check:
The propeller may be damaged or bent, causing it to steer off course. Inspect the propeller for any visible damage and replace it if necessary.
The motor's GPS sensor may not be functioning properly. Check to make sure the sensor is clean and free of debris. You can also try recalibrating the sensor according to the manufacturer's instructions.
The wiring connections may be loose or corroded, causing intermittent power to the motor. Check all wiring connections for tightness and signs of corrosion, and clean or replace as necessary.
The foot pedal or remote control may be malfunctioning, causing the motor to steer off course. Check the foot pedal or remote control for any damage or loose connections, and replace or repair as necessary.
If none of these steps resolve the issue, you may need to take your trolling motor to a professional repair shop for further diagnosis and repair.
My guess is you either have a brushwire against the housing or the leads are on the wrong terminal. the red/black goes on the same as the lower brushwire and the black goes on the same as the upper brushwire. The motor should have a 60A breaker, assuming you have 6ga wire. If wire is smaller than 6ga, the breaker should be downsized. To test the control board, check the voltage in and voltage out. Voltage out should vary as you turn the dial.
Here is a picture of the wire connection for 24 volt. Compare to yours is it correct? If it is, I wish you listed make and model I could of sent you the right picture diagram of you motor. Use this picture as a starting point. Test the wires through the motor testing for 24 volts. Again if I knew make and model I could show you exactly were. Last if voltage is correct all the way through. The motor is the last thing to tear down. If the brushes or armeture is damaged in anyway, or manufactured wrong, it would lead to power loss.
Trolling motor runs on it's own when plugged in,speed adjuster won't control speed and 3 position switch doesn't perform either..please help. motorguide 74lb thrust.
