    well if the battery  shuts off  ….see if you can measure the  batt.  12v post voltage  when you start  to increase  rpms  and the moment the battery reacts

    if the voltage goes up you likely have  charge cct  and your battery may have one of those fancy EMS    battery monitor… how else would a battery shut down !

    My Merc 50  was bad that way  causing shut  downs my  depth sounder because of  unregulated  charge volage ….. not tolerable voltage… by my depth sounder anyway .

    in your case the battery shuts down so look  (measure what  comes back from the engine when the shut down happens)

    have you tried swapping batteries (in case the start battery has a defect)   and  leaving the troller   side   batt. out of the connection.
