Out of the blue ,this past weekend, I was fishing with bouncers & spinners when my Terrova quit. My remote flashed a "F". As I research online there could be multiple reasons for the error code, most pointing to needed a new control panel, some pointing to a new battery for the remote, and a few more pointing to the connections between the foot pedal and main unit.
Have any of you had this happen? The boat is always covered or garaged, so no weather-type damage would be the culprit. It was working at the time and suddenly just stopped working. I re-deployed the head into the home position and unplugged the power. I started over again by plugging the unit into the socket, deployed the head, and started up the remote. It worked just fine.... for three minutes and it shut off again.
I put a new batter in the remote and tried working it again on Sunday morning. I also pressed the 'learn' button on the power head. I deployed the unit and started the remote and it ran fine.... for three minutes and it shut off gain, flashing the "f" code.
The unit in from 2012. Buy the control panel and install over the upcoming weekend?? $220 online for one of those. Grrrrrr!
