I,ve got 55lb thrust trolling motor and cant get very much power to the prop, it seems as far as the motor being able turn different directions thats fine but little power at the prop bout half speed I,d say when on high. Suppose this would be in the foot pad maybe? I,ve hooked two different batteries too it with no difference, Any ideas? thx.

I would definitley go with foot pedal........They've been having issues with them for longest time

 

If its less than 3 years old, its still under warranty :canadian:

Are you sure both batteries are OK??

 

Sounds like your pedal is working fine, you just don't have enough power. I know the pedals suck, I've replaced mine a few times, but when it goes, its usually the steering in one direction or the other, or no power to the prop at all. Seems funny it would run, but only at half power, to me.

 

Load test your batteries.

..Try this....

 

unplug the pedal and take it apart (simple) get some

Brake and Electrical contact cleaner.. spray it onto a cloth and wipe down all the contacts and smear a small amount of Dielectric grease on them ..* REASSEMBLE the pedal before plugging it back in ( if not you might see smoke)... that might do the trick ... It has for me and countless other Minn-Kota and Motor-Guide customers.

Is it a 24 volt motor? If so, did you connect the batter in parallel instead of in series? Start with the easy stuff before you start taking your motor apart.

I've got an extra board. If that's your problem contact me. But first get a multi meter!!!!!!! If you use it right and check everything you should be able to find the problem.
