so I went fishing this weekend about 25 degrees in the morning. motor would only turn over slowy no fire. I hook up jumper cables to the a trolling motor battery same result. voltage on all batteries is 12.00 or better. When motor is trying to start voltage reads 8 on the gps unit then goes back to 12 or 11.9-8. It did the same thing in early spring sub freezing weather but always managed to start After outside temp warmed up a little finally got it to start. After initial start if fires right up the rest of the day. My batteries are only about a year old and trim motor and everything else seem to work fine so I'm thinking my starter is weak and needs to be rebuilt or replaced. Does that sound right?
