Minn Kota Riptide wires smoking - 02/03/18 04:00 PM
So my Riptide motor stopped working last year and I took it apart and discovered it was filled with water. I cleaned up a bunch of parts and replaced some wires and it works now, but if I run it at full throttle the wires get so hot they start to smoke after about 5 minutes. I'm wondering if maybe the armature is bad and is placing excess load on the motor. Anyone have any ideas?
