Battery has been tested, and is said to be good. Tried pulling one of the leads from battery to motor, and motor dies. Is this an indicator of a bad rectifier, or could it be something else? Also, we have disconnected all accessories from battery to eliminate Parasitic draw. Thanks

THE STICKLE HOOK " the stay level sickle hook". sits level in the water with all knots.! Provides better hook sets and more natural jigging motion. No more adjusting the knot, gluing , or tying loop knots that cause the hook point to tangle in the loop, or worse knick the line.. The jighook that will make all others obsolete !
