How to Identify and Resolve Common Issues ?
We offer a diverse range of insights on identifying and resolving common problems in sports. Our sources encompass academic articles, blog posts, and personal essays shared by seasoned athletes. :
Connections. If you are having issues with your motor and the batteries are charged, have been load tested (FLA, AGM or Gel) and are testing good, you will want to check the connections between the trolling motor and battery(s). The connections should be clean and tight.
They typically last around 2-3 years and may require some sort of maintenance.
It is highly recommended that a circuit breaker or fuse be used when installing a trolling motor.
The propeller works by displacing the air pulling it behind itself (the action), this movement of air then results in the aircraft being pushed forward from the resulting pressure difference (the opposite reaction). The more air that is pulled behind the propeller the more thrust or forward propulsion is generated.
A good propeller shop can restore a prop with pretty significant damage, often by welding new material onto the affected blades and then grinding and shaping the blades back to original geometry.
The first letter of the serial number determines the year. The following three numbers determine what day of that year the trolling motor was made. Example 092 is April 2nd.
A Newport Vessels (NV) 55 lb thrust trolling motor draws a current of 52A at full speed. On paper, this means that you can run that motor at full speed for almost 2 hours (1 hr 55 mins) if you use a 100Ah battery.
The pedal is pushed up and down to steer the motor. Push the toe of the foot pedal down to turn the motor to the right, or push the heel of the pedal down to turn the motor to the left. There is a switch or dial on the pedal to control motor power.
If the props were spinning the last time you used it, but won`t work now, something inside the motor head may have corroded. If even a little bit of water found its way inside the motor head, then internal wires, plugs, or circuit breakers may have rusted.
Grab the tiller and turn it clockwise to increase speed, or turn it counter-clockwise to reduce speed. Turn counter-clockwise beyond the tiller`s starting point, to go into reverse. Some trolling motors have a number of speed settings, and you`ll feel a click in the tiller handle as you move up through them.
Trolling Motors With 3 Wires
Most trolling motors with three wires are designed to give you a choice between using 12 volts or 24 volts. These trolling motors will also have a switch that you can set to either voltage to make sure it is working the way you want it to.
Remove the nut and screw the harmonic puller, also known as a prop knocker, onto the shaft. Hand-tighten the prop knocker, then rap it four or five times with a hammer. Rap the prop a couple of times too. The prop should have come loose from the shaft taper as a result of the vibration.

I have the Intex Sand/Pump pool filter Model SF 20110. It’s been running real great for the last 4 months. However recently it has been tripping the internal overloads and I have found the pump motor to be very hot when I put my hand against it. I have tried several different solutions, such as a level ground platform that was clear of any obstructions, made sure that the motor vents under the motor was clear of anything that would prevent air flow. I used a non electrical type of lubricate on the impeller. When I would turn on the pump the rotor would not turn but only would hum very loudly and then slowly begin to turn. I also noticed that the motor’s rotor shaft would not turn to freely due the tightness around the rotor’s shaft. After using the lubricate the shaft would turn a little easier. I used an amp meter on the incoming voltage line and the motor would run at 4.5 amp. And yet it still overheated and tripped the motor overloads. I can only think that the motor is still not getting enough ventilation. I have check and cleared all the incoming lines and found nothing block the pumps input or output lines. Any suggestion?
ANSWER : I just looking into this issue my self. The pump cools itself by a internal fan, which is run by the motor. Well I took the housing cover off to find out all the fan blades have broken off and were setting in the base of the pump. Once you remove the fan blades from covering the air intake, it might be fine. I will find out my self once summer gets here.

Need the wire diagram to rewire my Ariens lawnmover to bypass the safety switch. It is Ariens GT-19 model # 931026 Serial # 001463.
Can you help? It is an old Ariens mower but still runs good but now I need to bypass the safety switch in order to run it any longer. The local Ariens dealer said I need to go through the internet and get the wire diagram as they cannot give it to me directly. They told me I needed the wire diagram and the part involved in bypassing the safety switch. Hope this is all the information you need to help me.

ANSWER : Here is owner manual:http://apache.ariens.com/manuals/030305C.pdfusually the switch is behind the ignition, sometimes at the N position of gearshift, just look for a switch with one wire coming in & one going out (usually the same color); disconnect the two wires & jumper them together to bypass the switch. Looks like yours has one under the seat.

My daughter has a sweet pea scooter that had been blowing fuses and the motor got hot. Im sure the motor is shot. but my question is can anyone tell me if the motor would be the only thing I need to c
ANSWER : Find out whether it is 6 volts or 12 volts and there should be two wires that feed the motor either cut or splice and attach another set of wires with fuse in the line (simular to jumper cables) raise the back tire so it does not touch the ground and place jump wires to the negative and positive of the battery.If the motor moves in either direction without blowing the fuse the motor is good if not then its bad. Uses the same amperage fuse

Motor was running great, but it died slowly and never start again
ANSWER : Check to see if you have a spark -then check if you are still getting fuel-and how old is the fuel-because it is recommended ,an im assuming its a 2 stroke motor,that the fuel should be replace with a fresh 2 stroke mixture every couple of months as the mixture jellyfies and sludges up the carb etc-try those first

25 HP 2 cycle Yamaha Outboard.Need to see the diagram of washers and spacers for replacing the propeller. specifically, what goes between the back of the propeller and the motor. Prop fell off in the water and everything is missing but the prop which I found. Motor about 20 years old. If you have any diagrams from 2 yrs or older send it. Motors havent changed much.
ANSWER : Hi,
I have got some diagrams for the older Yamaha’s. Please send an e-mail to adam.peake (at) btopenworld.com and I will send you the lower unit breakdown.

Motor no longer seems to work – have already tried new batteries
ANSWER : If the motor is exposed to the elements, rain water may enter the casing and freeze up the motor shaft, brushes, and windings can short out. May need replacing.

TC5000 and after extended use I smell burning and upon removing the belt cover and drive belt I felt of the motor on the motor side of the drive pulley and it was ”red-hot”, obviously the source of the smell of the burning. The motor spins freely without any rubbing noise. The drive pulley (motor side) and the tread pulley appear to be alligned. One curious thing is that the threaded motor output shaft is recessed about 3/8” from the outside edge of the pulley. Could it be the bearing on the pulley side of the motor? I am dumbfounded as to what the solution might be. Note that I could not enter the exact product as my model seemed to be invalid. My model is the TC5000. Thanks [email protected]
ANSWER : Just because it spins freely doesnt mean it cant have a shorted winding. Id send it back where it came from or at least replace the motor.
