Brand New Minn Kota, Prop Wont Spin

[corkdogger]

Hello I recently purchased a brand new Minn Kota, Traxxis 40 lb thrust trolling motor and the prop wont spin. When it does spin it will make VERY slow, jerky rotations.

I have it hooked up to a brand new 12 volt, deep cycle marine battery and both the charger, and motor reads full charge.

I have tried using fine sandpaper to clean the connections on the battery and power cords and still nothing.

This motor is right from the box and has yet to touch water. Any suggestions?

Take it back where you bought it or contact Minnkota customer service. They are great to deal with.
