    2016 ProXs Voltage issue

    I have been chasing an issue for a year.
    having battery issues I am using a Group 31 X2. Started having having to jump even after a couple hours of live well use, live scope is on its own battery. So I changed the pumps out. Didn’t help, put a amp
    meter on it less than 3 amps running.

    So today I figured out it’s an issue getting power to the motor. Seeing a full volt drop from battery to what smart craft reads. Any ideas where to start looking

    That voltage drop is without the motor running, I had the charging system checked they said it was fine. I see 13.8 on smart craft when running

    No expert ….. but recommend you start checking at the source. Battery connections (clean, engine cables on first, nylock nuts), connection at starter (clean & tight), cutoff switch (clean & tight…..remove from panel & check voltage across lugs…..switches can fail ….. even quality switches).
