My Maxxum 80# works perfectly in the driveway of course but goes off and on on the water with no noticeable pattern. When it goes off I checked to see if the prop was in a dead spot on the armature but couldn't identify any pattern. Seems like when I pull it out of the water i can get it to spin again by removing the load, but even this doesn't happen consistently enough that i can call it the definitive cause. I checked voltage 25.1 at the plug. 24.8 in the foot pedal. 24.8 in the head when i disconnect the wires from their connection to the prop. Once i connect it to the prop and turn it on continuous the prop spins and voltage drops to 17.8. I'm assuming due to the voltage drop as the prop is now turning? I've changed every connection in the head and foot pedal but i'm still stumped If one of the consistently helpful members here can't help me solve this by the weekend i'm going to have to break down and buy a new one that was definitely not in the budget for this spring.
