Check you connection and if it don't work. Return it and get a new one. Good luck.

a weak battery will cause them to do odd things.......like said above also check to make sure connection is tight and if all checks out RETURN IT QUICKLY so you can get down to Talquin equipped to get after them crappies

Kind of sounds like it the problem might be in the foot peddle control. I've never had any problem with mine but I've read some have. If thats it it would be a easy swap. But the weak battery could also be causing it.

I bought one and i had the same problem. Mine was 12 or 24 volt, I dint have my batteries run in constective order so it would not work properly. i hope this helps

Went Back And Swaped The Motor At Sports Center In Perry ,they Didnt Have The Pd40 So They Gave Me The Pd45 For Same Price . Cant Argue With That ,took It Home And Hooked To Battery And It Worked Perfect Must Have Been A Bad Switch Or Somthing But Anyway Thanks Guys

I know that you could get it going, so you can catch a lots of, fish. Save some, down there. I hope to go down, that way, in a few weeks.
