Hi, I need some help with a project of mine. I have a Motor Guide - Great White Lazer 62lb thrust trolling motor. Just the motor. It has 4 wires, Black, Red, Blue and Green. I have a pretty good understanding of an AC motor and its wiring. Not so much on a DC. I get the basic principals. I have found that the black and the red wire have great continuity almost a dead short. Im guessing field? The blue and green are completely open with all possible combinations. Is this just like independent coils on the armature for speed control? What I am ultimately trying to do is use an old school trolling motor controls and mount the motor to it. The controls are just a forward/reverse with 4 terminals and a 3 position speed switch also with 4 terminals. I believe that actual controller it goes on has a capacitor or two and some other solid state components but I just cant see why you cant shoot voltage strait to a small relatively simple motor. I have a potentiometer if that helps
