[QUOTE="Johnny, post: 399606, member: 13599"] Edit: the battery is smoking or the starter ??? I have had only one starter smoke like that. then, one day, it caught fire...... well, not actually fire, but a smoking stinking mess that burned all the internals. Smell of the starter when it is hot - if it stinks like burnt really bad, I would start looking for a new starter when you have the extra funds. Don't know what to tell you if it is the [i]battery[/i] that is hot and smoking..... never experienced that one. Many of us have run trolling motors on the cranking battery without any issues. And I am sure they draw as much if not more amps than a starter (?)...... If you can, check the fluid levels in the battery. If it is a sealed battery, you may have some serious stuff going on inside of it. jus my Dos Centavos [/QUOTE]
