I have 74# MinnKota Power Drive with co-pilot 24 volt system. So here I am Saturday going through my boat testing equipment, etc...! I get to checking my trolling motor. I take it out of the cradle position and put the unit a foot or two below the bow so the propeller won't hit the boat of trailer/strap. I plug in the power and get the little low-high beep indicating power is good. I then grab my co-pilot remote and turn it on. I get the normal "beep", then try to increase the propeller speed and nothing happens. Hmmmm....so then I try to turn it left or right....still nothing.
So I go the internet and read some forums and read to make sure prongs are clean, so I go ahead and get Q-tips and clean both male and female ends. plug back in...still nothing.
If this has happened to any of you, please share what the problem was. Also be sure to share if you were able to fix it did you have to take it somewhere to get it working. I was thinking about upgrading to Terrova with I-pilot, but I just upgraded my 5th wheel. I was hoping to upgrade trolling motor next year or two. #$%^&>
