Starts fine, shift into reverse fine, back away from dock 3) Shift forward, no problem, cruise over to spot 1 at no wake speed 4) Fish, move, no problem 5) Fish, move, shift forward and open it up full for a bit, no problem 6) Fish, go to move, PROBLEM!! Motor starts fine, stalls when shifting forward(and reverse) 7) Finally get motor to shift without stalling, but sounds like running to high at half throttle, Move to full throttle, sounds good and moves 8) Go to leave last spot, motor starts, stalls on shift, won't turn over any more (no way battery should have been mush, but all I get is click) 9) Trolling motor to dock I recently had new(used) control box installed. I'm hoping just linkage cables [/QUOTE]
