Here's my problem..I have a Minnkota 24 V trolling motor, the 4 prong receptacle crapped out so I bought a new one. Unfortunately there was no wiring diagram with the new one. It is a Marinco 4 prong plug, I hooked it up and had half power and figured it was only running on 12 volts. Tried a couple other configurations and get nothing. My boat was used and has four wires running from the batteries (not wired in sequence like I would have done it myself). My question is how should I hook these up to make them work? I was able to isolate each batteries connection and hook them up to the corresponding positive and negative and still have no power to the trolling motor. I reset the breakers and still nothing no matter how I hook the system up. Anyone have any suggestions what to try next? Thanks in advance.
