[QUOTE="BigTerp, post: 468447, member: 9169"] Take the head cover off and inspect the wires and connections. I bought a used Minn Kota 74# 24v Maxxum that during the first outing the head got so hot it was actually smoking. Took the head cover off when I got home and the butt connection on the positive wire was severely corroded. Simply cut out the bad parts of the wire and reconnected with quality tinned wire and a tinned heat shrink butt connector. The negative wire shield was slightly melted due to the heat, so I did the same to it. Worked perfect. [/QUOTE]
