Fellas,
I just got a 41lb Thrust MotorGuide Trolling motor "Bill Dance" edition Model#BD1241T, and it wont run. They guy who gave it to me with the boat said it ran fine when he moved here 1year ago. I have never worked with electrical/trolling motors very much since this is my first one, however I hooked it up to my truck battery and i made sure it was at least getting power. Also, when I put it into gear (both forward and reverse) the switch made a tiny noise. I know the switch is getting power, but how do you tell if the switch is broke, or if it is the actual motor itself? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Ryan
