Noah,
Could also be that he had a kink in the cable and those electrons going so fast couldn't make the curve and went flying through the insulation. :^) -Jim noah wrote: Merlin's Law: All electrical devices operate on "Magic Smoke". If you let the smoke out, they cease to operate, and there is no way to get the smoke back in. ![]() noah |

Rich- a side question: What size fuse or breaker is in your trolling
circuit? Sounds like your windings melted down or the switch went bad, and the amp draw smoked the foot switch. A dead short can be a real problem. Glad you were quick to unplug it. 60 amp fuse, which did go pop. The problem turned out to be in the pedal, where one of the leads melted it's insulator and came in contact with a nearby terminal. Perhaps repairable, but the unit had enough other problems to make it not worth pursuing. Too hard to get all of that smoke back in. ![]() Replacement is a Motorguide Pro Series 5200. More thrust, better mount (Lil' Gator #16). It's a pleasure to use in comparison to the old unit. Of course, the fish don't know any of this, so they are being typically uncooperative. -- Rich Stern www.nitroowners.com - The Nitro and Tracker Owners Web Site www.mypontoon.com - The Pontoon Boat Web Site www.fishingreportdatabase.com - The Fishing Report Database www.mysporttrac.com - The Sport Trac Web Site |
