I have a little 46lb 12volt motor guide....I blew the inline 50 amp fuse one day after about 20 sec of trolling...got home replaced the fuse, tested, for a few seconds on high powere....all is good! Went to the lake and pushed the button and nothing! Wired direct and all was good for a little bit then it slowly lost power like the battery was dead...but it wasn't. I know after blowing 2 fuses it wasn't smart or safe but I was in the zone and have a pretty good size extinguisher and decent insurance if that failed....anyway, planning on getting another, but what do y'all think went wrong?

It broke. Seriously I don't know but it sounds like brushes or armature kind of internal stuff to me.

Fishing line in the prop?

Sounds like a short in your cable...use the meter to amp it out.

This is the EXACT conclusion I came too! We should open a repair shop! Lol

Did this at the plug, Metered it 13.9 volts....same as battery. Maybe internally?

Not unless it's inside around the shaft....I'll go look now

What are the MEGA MILLIONS numbers!?

Thanks a bunch!!! Feel like a real idiot! Lol

Actually I'm glad I saw this! It would probably be me asking this same thing someday. This is why I love TFF.

You ain't kidding!

Nice! Glad it's up and running! That braid is the worst!

AWW HECK! And I thought I was gonna get a chance to sell the 45# MK Edge settin in my garage. WTG on figuring it out.

How much?

$175

lesson learned by a lot of us, inspect the prop nut and all the shaft area once in a while, buddy of mine went out one day, hit his foot throttle and the blade came off,..oops.
