I have a pro series trolling motor and the last time I used it, it would run then shut off then run again. Now it wont work at all. I know the batteries are good and charged. I believe that I have 2 amps but don't know how to check to see if they are blown. Here is a picture of what I believe is an amp. If anyone can tell me if it is an amp and how to check to see if it is blown that would be great. I am trying a process of elimination.

Thanks,

Jenga.

jenga, an amp is a measurement of current. I believe the word you're looking for is fuse or circuit breaker. I'm not familiar with what is shown in the pic, but a dc volt/ohm meter placed across the 2 leads would tell you if it is open or blown.

Yeah your right. I meant to say fuse. so all I got to do is put that tester on the connections to the battery.

thanks,

With the volt/ohm meter reading volts, if you put the leads across the fuse/breaker, if you read voltage, it's blown or open. If you read zero volts its closed or good. With it reading ohms it will give you a resistance reading if it's good and read either nothing, open or infinity if it's bad, depending on the meter. Some ohmmeters have sound. If you hear sound it's good, no sound is open or blown.

So I got a voltage meter and tested the wires that connect to the battery and the wires to foot control to my trolling motor. The needle moved so I am assuming that it was getting electricity. Which makes me think the problem is in either the foot control or the trolling motor itself. What do you think.
