Got to the first fishing spot. Worked that area for about an hr and decide to head across the lake. Turn the key and silence. Tried it again and same. Hmmm
Thinking maybe it's the kill switch. Flipped it a couple of times and still silence.
All my fishfinders are still on. The console is showing 11.9v, which is normal for me. The battery will measure at 12.68v or higher.
Looked in the bilge to make sure connections still looks fine on the battery. I have a lithium jump pack, so I took that out and tried to jump. Still silence.
I'm thinking I killed the starter or something wrong with the kill switch since it's not even trying to start. I forgot to turn the battery switch to off and trip all the breakers last time I was charging my batteries. I'm about 5 or 6 miles away from the launch. Even though it's smooth as glass, not sure if my trolling batteries will last that long but I had no choice now. Time to find out. Pointed the Ultrex towards where I need to go and away I go. I plop down into the seat and now I see the throttle is forward a little bit. Not sure how I missed this when I was flicking the kill switch.Ugh. Put it back into neutral, turn key and vrooom. Got a couple more hours of fishing in. Nothing but dinks but was sweating for a few mins there.
