1886, Minn Kota PD40 won't turn right
Posted by swimbait, Mon Apr-18-05 01:13 PM
I have a Minn Kota PD40 trolling motor with the elec. foot pedal. Everything works fine on it but it has decided it doesn't want to turn to the right any more. I took apart the foot pedal and checked to make sure the contacts are hitting and they look fine. I had a similar problem before on my old trolling motor (same type of pedal) and it was suggested to put a shim under the board in the pedal to make it contact the little white contact things better. On this one though, the board is epoxied to the plastic backing so I'd have to cut it out to shim it. I'm not really even sure that its the pedal anyway. Anyone has any thoughts or tips, I'd appreciate it.
