Boat battery is damaged
Blocking or friction on shaft or propeller
Boat conditions may be too cold
Battery capacity may be too low for conditions
Too little lubrication on driveshaft

Move powered transmitter a few feet from boat,
disconnect and reconnect battery to boat
Move the boat and transmitter to another location
and attempt binding again
Power off all compatible transmitters except the
