Besides electric trolling motor maintenance , fishermen and anglers should commonly check following things , will troubleshoot some problems with your unit :
Check the Connectors & Pins
Check the motor pins /level lock pins/screws of all connectors, to make sure they have not been bent, broken off or pushed back into the connector plug.
If any connector pins have been bent, you may try to straighten them with needle nose pliers. If any pins are broken, replace the entire accessory. There is a risk that while straightening a bent connector pin, it can break. We suggest it must be done by an Authorized POER trolling motor Service Center，or else avoid warranty.
Check the Cables
Check all accessories and cables for nicks, cuts, or physical damage. Try to repair any nicks in the cable with electrical tape. If any cables have had the internal wires cut or separated, the entire accessory or cable should be replaced. We suggest that use original accessories ( gauge wire ). If the incorrect gauge wire is used, there will be a voltage loss to the trolling motor causing a decrease in power and heating of the wires.
Check for Proper Voltage
Check the voltage with all of your electrical equipment running ( Eg. Fish finder )as well as with the main motor and/or trolling motor running at different speeds to insure proper voltage and amperage. This will ensure that you are getting the proper voltage to the equipment. An over or under voltage condition, may due to an inadequate charging system on your boat. Have your boat's electrical system inspected by qualified personnel.
Check for Electrical Interference
Turn off all the electrical equipment and motors off. If this corrects the problem, then the fish finder is receiving electrical interference from your boat equipment.
Determine which piece of equipment interfering with your depth sounder: turn each piece of equipment on individually, until the problem starts again. The last piece of equipment turned on is interfering with the depth sounder. Also try this with your main motor and trolling motor running at different speeds. Follow the appropriate instructions to eliminate this interference.
