[QUOTE="earl60446, post: 247523, member: 4469"] " At the end of the day, my plug heats up so much that it becomes very, very soft. I have gone through 2 plugs now." Thats because at the end of the day, the voltage in the battery is dropping, since the trolling motor requires the same amount of power (read wattage) to run, the motor starts to draw more and more current (amperage) to make up for lower voltage. Not good for wire, connectors or the trolling motor. Bigger battery or spare battery would help. Tim [/QUOTE]
