About nine weeks since my last video. The rain has not been very kind. Time to travel up to the Hastings River and see if things have improved on the flathead front.
Hi Ellen. I have the 55lb Terrova connected to a dedicated deep cycle 140Ah Giant Power battery from Aussie Battery. Over the last six months a problem has developed but i have not had time to investigate. After running for less than two hours the motor does not want to both steer and travel - it is one or the other. Anchoring is OK. However , from time to time the spot lock switches off and I have to invoke it again. In short, I don't know if the battery is failing, or the MinnKota controller is the problem. Aussie Battery claims the battery is designed for 12 years. Though this means nothing with battery technology. When both were new I was running almost continuously for 5 -6 hours. Sorry, not a lot of help.
