I have a 55# Minnkota Autopilot/Copilot that is less than a year old.
I ran it for about an hour yesterday, moved to a new fishing spot and then I was not able to steer with the foot pedal.
I had plenty of battery power, the power to propel the boat was there, but it would not steer using the footpad. Tried autopilot and that did not work (have never really used it though) and when I switched to copilot nothing worked at all - I think I had it set up correctly.
Is there something particular in the unit that may have gone bad?
It is under warranty so I'm not worried about any expense, but need it or a new one ready to go for the muskie opener on Saturday.
We're usually fully stocked but you caught me on a bad night!
Tuesday night is usually "board meeting" night if you know what I mean. Stop in and have a tasty beverage some Tuesday night after these holidays are over and things get back to normal.

Any input is appreciated. Thanks.
