This is an electric motor in a pontoon boat. The motor won't run. I've done a load test on the batteries and they seem fine. I'm going to do a voltage drop test tomorrow. The manufacture, Duffy, won't help because my shop is not a dealer, and they only work with dealers.
If anyone knows some basic electric motor troubleshooting tests that might help me diagnose this motor I'd like to hear some suggestions. This is my first electric motor and I'm kinda lost. I have no wire diagrams or anything else to guide me. I've spent a few minutes doing some simple internet searches and haven't found anything too helpful.

will the motor turn over it's not froze up or burned out then it's a matter of wire elimination . hot and ground are the only wires coming off the batteries

I not know much about these, but, I looked at the Duffy Web-Site. I would remove the belt and connect the battery direct and see if the motor run. If, it does it in the electrical controls. If, the motor not work see if you can turn the pulley by hand or with something (Have the battery disconnected and be careful). Then connect and see what it do. Then if it not work, you may need to remove and take to a motor/starter, alternator, repair shop, if you can not fix it yourself.

You raise some good points in your question.
