I didn't realize it was gonna be such a big deal to replace it.
Well, being that I have plans to go to SAL this weekend, I wanted to make sure everything is in place.
The plug had a short and when I took it apart 4 wires were sticking out in no special order. When I cleaned it up and put the plug back together and plugged it in, I hear crackling and smoke everywhere. Haha OK that not right!!!!
Found exact plug and had no idea how 4 wires come out of troll motor (2 pos. And 2 neg.) and only 3 spots for the plug
(12) (24) and (-)
I put one red in (24) and one black in (-).
Leaving one red and one black homeless.
Trolling motor works now!
Does this sound right? Or can this cause a short? Uncertain?
Thanks in advance!
