My Minnkota 55 Maxxum bow mount trolling motor 12V was really hot when I went to unplug it on Monday night the plug and wires were really hot. It’s 10 years old and I never remember it being like that even on a hot day. Wind was stiff Labor day night (just prior to storm) so I did have it at full speed about half the time I was out (which might be why it was so hot). It is the original plug and wires it came with.
It is undersized for the 21′ fiber glass boat I have. However I’ve had to push it at full speed many times before when it gets windy.
Any Ideas?
