Trolling motor not working


NAGORSKI

Question

I was going to Red wing tomorow,good thing I checked the trolling motor. When I push the foot pedal all I hear is a click in the motor. So I don't think it's the foot pedal,which would be the easy fix.

Anyone have any ideas on a fix or where to bring it in? It's a 99'Minnkota 48 lb. thrust bow mount.

Double check your power plug. If you are getting power but it has a weak connection you may hear a click just as the power cut out from the poor connection. Also check the connection from the foot pedal to the motor. I have had both of these connections give me similar trouble.

It will turn so the foot pedal works. I wriggled thr connection at the motor and at the pedal. I think it took a beating on Mille Lacs and the Croix last year and some connection is loose in the motor.

Still can be the foot pedal even if you hear a click. Mine did the same thing last year. New foot pedal did the trick. It would turn but wouldn't operate the drive motor and I heard it click .

Go to gander or fleet Spotsman may have it on sale if in stock and pick one up can always return it if it dont fix the problem
