Hi all. I am hoping you can help me out. I have a 16' Tahoe pontoon boat on an urban lake behind my house. The lake is electric only and my boat has a 12 year old Duracraft 67lb thrust motor.
Last week I noticed it was running at about half power. After running around the lake for a few hours I got back to my dock and checked the batteries (it's a 24 volt system running off two 12 volt batteries wired in series.) One of the batteries had a bad cell and was completely dead.
My problem now is I bought a new battery identical to the one that is still good and it still runs about half power even when dialed all the way up. I double checked all my wiring, fuses, and connections and everything is as it should be.
If anyone can help shed some light on this I would greatly appreciate your input.
Best Regards
