Terrova not working
This is more than likely something I messed up but if so I need some help either way. I just put some new Trolling batteries in my boat and replaced them one at a time putting the wires right back where they went. Well I tried to use my Trolling motor for the first time today and the remote says motor not found nor does the foot control work. The lights on the motor that show battery power light up bright red but the green light that says system ready doesn't come on. I have checked my wiring in the back and I know it's correct. I don't have a volt meter though so I'm not sure if maybe I got a bad battery. I'm going to call minn Kota tomorrow and hopefully they can help out. Anybody ever had an issue like this?

Did you actually check the + & - markings on the batteries? Different model batteries will have the + and - terminals on different sides of the battery.

Try re-finding the remote? I hate it when things go bad. I am intolerant.

I wish you had a volt meter it sounds like you are not getting 24 volts to the trolling motor !!! I know you said you have it wired back correct, make sure it looks something like this !!!

May need to deploy the tm. Don't see why but it's worth a shot
