The marine battery was tested by Sears and it was ok. The motor has not been submerged but has been rained on quite a bit. The motor was submerged while connected to the motor but the motor has never been submerged.

I changed all the rusted hardware and the 50A breaker/fuse. I then plugged the trolling motor in and got a high pitch noise and the 4 or 5 power level lights started blinking. I unplugged it and plugged it back in and nothing happened. When I pressed the battery check button all the lights...

I had the battery tested at Sears. They tested it for 45 minutes and they said it was good and nothing was wrong with it. Tomorrow I'm going to change the rusty parts and hope for the best!

No I haven't had any interference with this setup at all. It has worked great the past 2 years.

I don't have a way to bring the boat with me but I will sure take the battery to Sear's so they can test it. I'll report back!

Good points! Do I need t take it back to Sears so they can test it or is there a more simple way with a voltmeter?

Seems like that would be difficult to do. Would I need to take the trolling motor plug off?

Thanks for the reply! The battery is about 2 years old. I think the battery is fine as I had it tested at Sear's about 6 months ago.

Guys, my trolling motor will not operate and I'm guessing it's an electrical problem. :( When I unplug the motor it beeps but that's it. Here are some pics of my battery and motor. I had just loosened the nuts when I decided to take the pics so they were tight just before these were taken...

I only need 40 to 50 feet as my pond isn't very deep. Some guys here recommended thicker line so it wouldn't hurt your hands.

1/2" poly. It wont go through the hole.

I bought an anchormate and it is now attached to my boat. :D I looked on youtube and found a good knot for attaching the 1/2" poly rope to the anchor. Now I'm trying to attach the other end to the achormate reel but I'm not sure how. :?: If I use a knot it seems to be way to bulky. What...

People mount rod holders to those rails.

I noticed the advertisement said it would hold an anchor up to 12 lbs. What would happen if you used a 15 lb anchor? I don't want to go buy a new lighter anchor...what to do?

Does anyone have any experience with the Attwood (not anchormate) system sown in the picture above? Thanks! :D
