If the reading is infinite, your motor should be fine. If you get a zero reading or any continuity reading, you have either a motor problem or a cable problem. How do you test a 12 volt DC motor with a multimeter? How to measure dc voltage with a digitalRead More →

Ohio is one of only seven states that currently require canoe and kayak owners to register or pay special taxes on their boats. The other states are Alaska, Illinois, Oklahoma, Iowa, Minnesota, and Pennsylvania. Does a canoe with a trolling motor have to be registered in Florida? Do you haveRead More →

Armature: It is a rectangular iron core wrapped by the copper coil through which electricity passes and due to magnetic field it experiences a force and rotates. Brushes: It conducts current between stationary wires and moving parts, most commonly in a rotating shaft. What does the armature do in anRead More →

What is a Kicker Motor Used For? Many times, a kicker motor is used for trolling in a large boat. Most outboard motors simply can’t go slow enough for trolling certain kinds of fish, such as walleye. So, anglers will use their main motor to get out to their favoriteRead More →

Peripheral motor nerves carry the motor impulses from the spinal cord to the voluntary muscles. The large majority (90%) of motor neurons cross (decussate) to the contralateral side of the brain at the level of the brainstem. Where do motor neurons cross? Approximately 85% of upper motor neurons cross overRead More →

In 1821 Faraday set about trying to understand the work of Ørsted and Ampère, devising his own experiment using a small mercury bath. This device, which transformed electrical energy into mechanical energy, was the first electric motor. What is stator used for? The stator is the coil of wire housedRead More →

On a sailboat, wind blowing against the boat at an angle inflates the sail, and it forms a similar foil shape, creating a difference in pressure that pushes the sail perpendicular to the wind direction. … It moves at an angle opposite the direction of the wind, called windward inRead More →

Stranded wire gauges should be measured by calculating the equivalent cross sectional copper area. First, measure the bare diameter of a single strand and locate the circular mils value in the row that matches your measurement. Second, multiply the circular mils by the number of strands in the cable. WhatRead More →

The easiest part of the replacement comes from simply taking the cable connector and plugging it into the motor. With that complete, you will find that you’re finished and your washing machine is once more ready for duty. In no more than half an hour, you have saved yourself aRead More →
