I had a trolling motor incident as well. I was working trying to figure out why the trolling motor kept cutting out. I was sitting on the front of the boat working the pedal sitting on the electrical cord where the splice of the trolling motor cord was. The cord and the splice was climped and wrapped in the plastic coil. I got up to check the batteries and my short had a new hole in them. Wondering how that got there I sat back down in the front and worked the pedal. This time I sat directly on the splice. It sparked on my butt and I jumped into the air. Apperantly the climp didn't hold.....
