Minn Kota trolling motors have been around for more than 75 years. Minn Kota makes a complete line of small electric-powered motors that are used on fishing boats to move them around without the disturbance of a gasoline-powered motor. Although these motors are much simpler than their gasoline-powered counterparts, there are still a litany of things than can go wrong. Most problems with these electrical motors are caused by faulty electrical wiring or bad batteries. more

Check all battery connections for signs of corrosion. Corroded wires will not transmit power. If your wires are seriously corroded, then you will have to cut out the bad part of the wire and splice two good parts with a wire nut. Replace the entire wire if it is bad. [links]

The Terrova uses a spring-loaded lift assist mechanism, which can cause it to bounce in and out of water. more

When dealing with your repair shop, remember to listen carefully to what they say and work with them to correctly identify and solve the problem.

Unfortunately, sometimes the remote doesn’t work consistently, it can go blank and stop the motor without a warning.

Okay, since the gear train moves, does the motor driving the gears move as well? I know the motor isn't getting the proper voltage from you first post, but does the armature actually turn?

I've attached a photo of the TM and the trolling motor serial here

Any help greatly appreciated. Cheers

It is a wireless remote controlled motor.
I'm getting the +/- 4volts from the control board to which the motor connects
Connected the TM straight to a battery to verify it spins here

I'm just trying to diagnose my minn kota motor. It goes forward but won't turn (I only have a remote, no pedal).
When I turn the motor using the remote commands I get a reading of +/- 4volts from the control board - but the motor wont turn. Am I supposed to be getting 12??
When I connect the motor directly to a 12v battery it does spin.

Post some pictures of your TM and even the model number of your TM. Then we can see what you are dealing with. Is your setup wired or wireless remote? Need some more info. more
