My trolling motor all of a sudden starting blowing fuses. Its a Motorguide 6700 Pro Series and I couldn't find a 40 amp fuse anywhere in town. Checked the owner's manual and it calls for 50 amp circuit breakers!!!!
Replaced the 40 amp fuses with 40 amp circuit breakers (couldn't find the 50 amp fuses anywhere). The motor would then run for a couple of seconds and then slow down and then pop the circuit breaker. I had to send the dang thing to the Motorguide Service center -- $46.00 for shipping. Its still under warranty so at least I don't have to pay to have it shipped back. But the Service guy asked me was it mounted on an Avalanche. I said yes and he said he doesn't know why Tracker puts 40 amp fuses when Motorguide clearly says 50 amps.
Anybody ever had the same problem???
