[QUOTE="jmkilber, post: 174879, member: 5353"] Hi, I took the boat out this past weekend and tried to sneak in an hour of fishing. When I got out there I realized the trolling motor wasn't working right. It would start and stop and would only turn left. It really didn't seem to want to go much in the water. I took it out of the water and fiddled with it and it would run for a while but as soon as I would touch the speed or something it would quit. I could just give the speed lever a little push and it would kick in again. Seems like there could be a possible wiring issue in the pedal, but really no idea. It is a MinnKota power drive, probably 2004'ish model. It has barely been used. First, anyone else have problems like this? Second, is there someone in the Bismarck area that can work on them? Is it even worth it? Thanks, [/QUOTE]
