quest ultrex prop barely spins.

[bassin74]

out here doing my break in for my outboard. decided to try my ultrex quest and the prop barely spins? my batteries are hooked up for 24 volt. spot lock won't turn on either. maybe dead batteries? yeah I know should put them on charger! or is there a fuse in the head of trolling motor ? thanks

ok I got my trolling motor working like it should far as prop going faster. it wasn't deployed all the way....still not getting spot lock to do anything?

[bassin74]

now it quit working..

well I decided to test my trolling motor batteries and one was dead. went to advance auto to have them load test them and it came up bad battery! so my guess all that stuff won't work well. these 2 interstate batteries came out of my old boat! only 2 years old! my plan was to run them this year and then switch to lithium! guess I'm switching lithium sooner than planned!

Ya those interstate batteries dont have the best reputation as far as performance and life. You will be much happier with lithiums on your troller anyway.
