Brand new to the forum, just swing by to say hello also have a question, Just purchased a Trolling Motor, never use one before. Purchased from a lady kayak'er she said it was about 8-10 years old and never had a problem. I paid $50.00 and tried it out in my garage hooked up to a 12 volt battery, seem to function ok. Problem is the main control on top is pointed the same way the prop is, now how do I go about turning it in the right direction. Cant wait to try this out. I have a brand new 12v battery(not deep cycle) but should be ok to try. Anyways your help on this matter would be great. Thanks, Bryan.
