Hey guys I have a motorguide trolling motor that I use on my jon boat. The last couple of days it has been acting really strange. When it's in the water, sometimes it cuts out and i have to shake it a little to get it to give me some power, and when it does it is extremely weak!! The battery is fully charged and good, (I tested it on some other stuff) and the leads are polished and good.
I took it home today and put it on my bench. Now here's the kicker, when it is horizontal, such as laying on a table, it works fine!!! When I pick it up and hold it perpendicular to the ground like it would be in the boat it goes very very slow and sometimes cuts out! What is this problem and how should I fix it?? If i took it to a shop they would charge about 90 and thats like half of what I paid for it. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks guys
