Maybe some of you guys on here can help me figure out whats wrong with my trolling motor. my batteries are good and i run a stealth charging system, But my motor acts like the batteries are dead and it won't even move the boat at all when the roller dial is set below 40 or 50.I charge my batteries with a deep cycle charger at home thinking my stealth was bad but no difference was made and i have no clue what it can be. Any help will be greatly appreciated

Has this been a problem since you started using the trolling motor, or did it work properly and then began having this problem? Assuming the batteries are good (have they been tested under load?), it almost sounds like it is a 24V system running on only 12V.

OK, now what? I load tested my batteries their good, Got 24 volts from the batteries all the way down to the wires attaching to the two leads attached to the bushings that are retained by springs I looked at the armature but can't see any thing out of the ordinary and not sure how to check to see if may have an internal issue with all those cooper coils, I'm to the breaking point any help will be appreciated where to get it tested or buy a new armature, I read where Johns father had passed and really didn't want to trouble him at his time of sorrow, my prayers go out to him and his family.
