My trolling motor even at first run of the day seems to be operating at whstbid describe as half speed/power. I have to run it at higher speed settings than I should, just to use it. It very quickly over about 30 minutes of momentary use, fades out, acting asif the batteries are dying until it stops all together.
I can take it home and hook up to the brand new onboard charger, and after about 30 seconds of the charger assessing the batteries, it shows all three fully charged.
Batteries have been tested and all three are testing good.
I feel like it has to be the trolling motor. Any ideas what is going on with it? I had one before that started having slower and lower top speed/power, and it turned out the motor head had a leak in it and the motor slowly filled with rust and dirt. I don't know if something similar is happening to this ok be, it's just strange that it's behaving like it's draining the batteries quickly, but it's not.
