Hoping someone can share some knowledge about this issue. My original symptom was the trolling motor would turn on, turn left and right but the propeller wouldn't turn. I could increase it on my remote until it beeped that it was at full power, Looked online and diagnosed it's prob the mother board. Bought a new one and installed it. Whe I check power going into the mother board I get about 26V on my 24V system. When I put my negative lead to the far side of the mother board or the out going negative side I don't get any power. I assume there is a switch in the mother board turning on power and letting it flow through to the mother? The package seal was broken when I opened the box from trollingmotor.com. Could this be a bad "new" board or am I approaching this wrong?


I would appreciate your thoughts.

I really don't know, only that the motor needs to be deployed to power up...maybe the board isn't getting the motor deployed signal when you are testing it confused 3

Bronco Thank you for the thoughts. It is deployed because I can still make the motor turn with my remote, hit spot lock etc. Just the prop gets no power from the control board.

Sounds like you have a problem with the lower unit, not the control board.
