I had a 12v/24v switchable motor guide on my boat. It was a 3 wire system. I have now replaced this with a motor guide wireless power drive unit. This has a 2 wire system. I matched up the wires from the old 3 wire on the boat (it's a bass boat with a receptical plug in front) with the same colored wires on the on the trolling motor (red and white). Of course, there is an extra unused wire in the outlet. Everything seemed to work ok, except the batteries were dead after only an hour and a half of fishing. Questions:
1. Did I hook this up right?
2. Are my batteries not up to handling the new motor (they worked fine and were fully charged up until now)?
3. Does the motor guide power drive (W 75 model) only last this long (if so, it's going right back to cabelas)?
4. What's going on here?
Thanks for any help!!
