I will NEVER buy another Minn Kota product

So do you have any idea why or a fix for the footpedal turning left and right is slow? Went out for the first time and noticed it was slow, so used my "spare" pedal that has alredy been repaired by motor clinic and the turning works fine. Any idea what the glitch could be? Guess I'll used my spare as fishing tomorrow and take it apart on a off day.

Could you please give me the name and address for the Bloomington, Minn company that fixes them. I tried but still no luck.

This video really helped me I had 3 of them one was parts no circuit board no cord but all plastic pieces. Other 2 one no left other no speed .. took them all apart used out of parts one 4 finger plastic piece.. mine only had 3.. no left. That was fixed now. Other one I had a crack on circuit board speed. Gorilla glued it down. And used dielectric grease fixed it. Now got 2 working. . Looked on ebay 350 American . Thanks for the video cheers

Hi there. I realize you posted this 4 years ago but hopefully you still see this. I have exact same foot pedal and board. My trolling motor won't turn right. I opened everything up, and started with ringing everything out with multimeter. The very top button, when I push it down (and it does click normally), I do NOT have continuity between green and red according to your video around 2:09 (and schematics). So that makes sense that my unit won't turn right when pedal is assembled. However, backing up a bit, I had used a knift to cut the little plastic out on the button just below it (left button) because I thought I saw some corrosion and assumed that was the bad switch/contactor. It wasn't. But after I cut the plastic out, the little metal tab under the plastic that pushes down popped up and broke off (again, on the 2nd button from top). You mentioned in your video, how you put packing tape and/or glue under to get your backup board working again? I don't understand how you achieved that? I'm not longer able to press down (and hear a click) on the 3rd button that I cut the plastic out of.... so now my unit won't turn left either because that was the left button. So I now have 2 problems. Unit won't turn right (original problem) and the little button clicks down and feels fine (but no continuity) coming off wires going to actual motor, and unit won't turn left, because I broke off the little metal tab that clicks down to make contact between the 2 circuits on the board. I still have the little metal tab, which has the 4 tiny points that stick out slightly that were connected to the board. But I see no way to re affix it to the board and it will "click" down onto the board, causing my unit to turn left (like it used to). Hopefully you know what I'm trying to say but I don't understand how you got that switch on back up board clicking down again to make contact on the board across 2 circuits. I also don't understand how the "right" button at top is clicking down just fine but no continuity out of the 2 wires mentioned above. I'm afraid to cut that one open too and ruin that little metal tab too. Any ideas??? Thanks so much!!

th-cam.com/video/DqeipREbGrU/w-d-xo.html I have the same unit. It wouldn't turn right but would turn to the left. I watched the above video and put a little piece of cardboard between the board and the base plate and now I'm back in business.

Thank you for posting this. I have exactly the same problem.

I need your help! My foot pedal gas been laying in my boat for 12 years with leaves in the bottom that plugged the drain so it was underwater for months at a time. I opened it & it cleaned up like new! It "appears" everything remained sealed. Do you know the best way to clean those little holes ib the plus so I can test the pedal?

so mine will turn both right and left however will only run turning right. When i press for the motor to run going straight or left it clicks like it is recieving power however the prop doesnt spin. A few times i have gotten it to work by shaking the main coil chord that goes into the motor head. Could this be a loose connection or is it motherboard/foot pedal issue?

Hi great video, I was curious if you had the name in Bloomington, Minnesota of the company that I can send my foot pedal out to thank you

Be nice if you tried them on, told us about the quality, whether or not they fog up, and shown how they fit with helmet- not everyone is buying them to fit with glasses

Can you send me a copy of your schematic?

Thanks! Same issue with mine - doesn't turn left. . 2004 so I understand why they don't have parts anymore. Going to do the same fix

Thank you for this ! My pedal stopped turning left. I’ve been looking for this wiring diagram!

Thanks for sharing, I got mine to work after following your video. I also seen someone post to cut a business card to put under the 4 button area of the circuit board to raise for wear. works great. Thanks again :)

Hi I have one and love it ,but don't know how many pound thrust it is,what is yours. Thanks

*I bought this model for my 14 ft Jon boat. **enjoyable.fishing** recommend love it!!! It pushes my boat with ease ( 2 men 220 each). I would highly recommend this to anyone.*

I acquired one of these old power drives a few years ago just recently it hasn’t wanted to turn left as well

Version 2 is just as bad I just peeled the top layer off of my circuit board cleaned the connections duck taped it back together and it works. My trolling motor hasn't been used a dozen times OEM on a 2020 bass tracker

I fixed two of these recently and have some suggestions. The board has two layers of plastic tape over the board. The under layer has cutouts at the button positions to hold the floating contactors in place and then there is a second layer that covers everything like a membrane to hold the buttons in place and seal out water. If you peal back the top layer in the corner where the turn buttons are you can remove the button, clean the underside and clean the circuit board pads. Once they are clean you can put the button back in place and push the plastic layer back down. The build up can happen on the center of the button and pad as well as at the four contact points on the corners of the buttons. The button center and center pad are the most common point of concern. On another foot pedal I cut the copper on the board to create seperate pads so I could installed low profile momentary switches soldered directly to the circuit board in the same location as the original position and then modified the connectivity with wire. In this case I had to modify the underside of the nylon button pusher that get moved by the foot pad cam as they needed to be thinned to compensate for the thickness of the buttons. In this case the original buttons and pads were not recoverable and I was trying to prove I could rebuild the unit with my own design. I have a few other idea that I would like to try which would eliminate the switches on the board and mount switches directly under the foot pad.

What controls the the motor on and off? The two buttons to the right?

Do you have a follow up for this? Id love to see more. Miens recently failed going to rebuild mines better though.

Is this for the autopilot model.....found one but it is a cordless model and still works well. Curious about the autopilot on these....if you troll straight and wind blows does it still adjust to keep the same line without needing to adjust ? Waiting to hear back from Minn Kota. Thanks

you would not have by chance a copy of that schematic you could email me briangawenus@gmail.com

Thanks for the video appreciate the info. Tell you one thing when it comes time for me to buy a new trolling motor it won't be a Minn Kota F them.

Do you have a video on disassembly and reassembly of the pedal and intrals? There seems to be a few screws and springs on the bottom of the controller.

Thank you! I agree it's unethical Minn Kota would stop selling the older foot controllers.

Can you give me the name of the place to send it in Minnesota? Or a part # so I can order it and fix it myself. Much appreciated

Do you have a part number for the computer board by chance?

Any advice on a foot pedal that turns fine but won’t engage the propellor I think it’s in the slide?

Mine turns left and right. It just barely spins when I move it to around 6 speed then gets slower as I go up

*This is a top quality device. It is installed on my pontoon boat.>>>**allmy.tips/MinnKotaPowerdrive?40N ** The foot pedal is ergonomically laid out and you will learn how to use it and get comfortable with it quickly. I was surprised that the motor has no reverse. You have to turn the motor 180 degrees but it is so responsive that you will quickly get comfortable with this as well. The motor is so quiet and near vibration free that I sometimes can't tell if the prop is turning. It does not have an indicator light to tell you that the prop is spinning. This would have been nice to have but should not be taken as a criticism. The battery level indicator on the motor base is very handy.*

*This product exceeded my expectation>>>**allmy.tips/MinnKotaPowerdrive?34H** motor moves my 14 foot boat with ease and used less battery than I ecpected. Would recommend it.*

you just got to love self sufficiency and independence, well done, never lose the spark, regards

What is the name of the place?

Ur soo soo

This is best when followed by a chaser of Carling's Black Label beer.lol

This goes up right there next to "Samuel L. Jackson's Lauger" :) LOL

"What chu swatting at?" LMAO!

Funny, I watched this yesterday and then I just heard about Tracy Morgan's accident.

So funny!¡

The first time I saw this almost choked on my blunt funny as fuck

Best part is still the end: "what you swattin' at?"

Why does this not have more views!?

Back when SNL was relevant. "That means you get fucked up for less money." Total greatness.

Classic.

What is wrong with stay at home mom's?

:D We don't appreciate your globalist propaganda. Flip side; I'm sure a banker would say the Federal Reserve is doing great good for the American people & 'Research Confirms' printing money out of thin air is good for the economy, along with clearly violating constitutional law. But only quacks & weirdos believe what people like the founding fathers, Andrew Jackson, Abraham Lincoln, Louis T. McFadden, JFK & Ron Paul say.

Nasim Pedrad is freakin HOT!!!

God this fucking awesome!
