[QUOTE="NDwalleyes, post: 175635, member: 218"] I had the exact same problem.....Check the the multi-pin plug that connects the co-pilot and/or foot pedal to the trolling motor. The female pin holes in the one half of the plug have a tendency to get reamed out over time and you just need to make them slightly smaller to improve the contact with the male pins in the other half of the plug. Take an ice pick (or similar) and slide the tip between the outside of the female pin holes and the plastic that surrounds them, gently flex the brass sleeves inward so as to make the pin holes smaller. It doesn't take much as the brass is soft, just enough to make sure that you have good contact with each pin.
