Hello. I have a minn Kota 599 12/24 volt bow mount I recently acquired for my 14’ aluminum boat. It did not have the bat cables on it so after reading a few threads in here I figured it out. I think! When I took it out and hit the foot switch with motor facing forward, I went backward. Only way to go forward it to have the prop facing forward, motor case behind it. This don’t seem correct? I put multi tester on it, and it shows that the polarity isn’t backwards.(normal ya negative symbol will appear. This happens in either voltage, on cont or not. Seems like the prop should b behind the motor casing? Is this correct? The motor works great, has red wire to bat 1 pos, white wire to bat 2 negative, and black wire to bat 1 negative along with jumper to bat 2 pos. Voltage switches fine and 4 speeds on each setting works fine.
