one of your customers said he used this device as a speed control for a trolling motor for a fishing boat does reverse polarity effect its performance

No it does not as far as controler and motor is concerned, amp draw an ampere hour usage is the same if demand is the same. The prop configuration on trolling motor may not give same performance in reverse as forward but motor characteristics will not change from one polarity state to the other.

Because it is a motor, you will not be able to get its full potential using 50 hertz power. It will still work just not at rated speed.

My husband was excited about mounting a trolling motor on this boat --- until it arrived and he looked at the construction. He opted for putting a heavy duty cleet on the back for attaching a rope and an anchor. The battery for the trolling motor would take up too much space and controlling the motor would be problematic unless you have a way to control remotely. He also opted to put a 5 gallon bucket of sand in the spot where the battery would go so that when he goes out by himself it acts as a counter-balance for his weight (his legs are too long to sit in the middle and use the pedals)

Hi,Yes it should work fine with a trolling motor, HINT; Get a 7AH solar charger to lay next to it so you can extend the trolling time.Then you can plug it in for a good full charge.Very sturdy, very strong, Hope this helps

It is not set up to reverse, however, it is a two wire 12v DC motor, and you could put a double pole double throw (DPDT) switch in the power feed to reverse the polarity, and thus the motor direction

I use two 6volt golf cart batteries on my 24 ft. pontoon boat and can troll on speed 5 for 6 hrs. and a fish finder.

Yes my son uses a trolling motor on his. Be aware that several things are needed to use a motor.

I'm sorry that we do not know the answer. My grandson bought the motor to use in a school project--to rotate a "light" in a lighthouse. It worked like a charm until some young punk found it in the classroom unattended and demolished it. The motor was damaged and never worked again. Until then, it worked like a charm, but he had no reason to reverse it, so we don't know whether or not it's possible.

Yes. They are regular DC motors so switching the negative and positive around will reverse the direction of the motor.

I've got one controlling two motors, one running forward and one in reverse, at the same time. As long as you don't go over the amp rating you should be good.

any trolling motor should work. all depends on how long you want it to last.

Yes, but not through this panel. The trolling motor usually needs a 50 amp service, these are 10 amp max each switch. On my Jon boat, I use the Bigfoot Trolling Motor Switch - Amazon.com‎

I haven't used it on that motor.. But this is a very simple ground switch and it is rated for 24v. The wires it is made with are very heavy duty. It will work on any trolling motor if installed properly.

I don't see any mention of "reverse polarity" in the product descriptions. Works fine in my airplanes.

I assume with power plug out of supply out let, then you can rotate wheel easily. If so check power supply specifically voltage and frequency. (You can do this by plugging into a source that powers another motor at correct speed. It is hard to wire a motor to run at wrong speed they typically run on do not run. In any case I do not think you should use it if the speed is not correct. High chance to damage motor and/or the operator.

My grandson has not fished with it yet. It is an awesome rc boat. He and my husband love it. It goes quite fast. Not sure about the reverse. Sorry I was not much help

WHAT? I am not sure what you are asking....I put this in my boat to charge my electric trolling motor and it works great!
