minn kota...........my bad

[musher92648]

In hooking up a minn kota 160 engine mount (basically two 80 pound motors) tonight I inadvertantly reversed poles on one of the two 80 pound motors working in low light. It did not work when I tested it of course but the other motor
did. When I put things right it still did not work. I switched the wires from each motor to the control unit to make sure it wasn't a bad wire. The same motor still did not work the other spun perfectly. Could I have burned this out when I reversed poles? Any thoughts? What should I try next?

did you check the fuses? Did you check to see if you have power to the bad motor with a voltmeter?

thats where I would start.

I have reversed the cables before, the motor runs backwards is all it did.
