ccmtcanada Posted July 7, 2008 Report Share Posted July 7, 2008 Hey Pete... We had the exact same thing happen here to our Motorguide. It would turn from side to side but no matter what we did the prop wouldn't turn. Bly took the head unit apart and found the "green" wire was loose. She cleaned all the connections and simply plugged that green wire back and all was fine. Other than things like weeds, fishing line or anything else that could be jamming the prop, try the green wire trick. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greencoachdog Posted July 7, 2008 Report Share Posted July 7, 2008 (edited) Check to see if you have a loose/corroded connection at the battery. Edited July 7, 2008 by Greencoachdog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
