Being the crafty person I am, I came up with the grand idea of taking my PowerDrive pedal apart and fixing it while on the water. With my partners brand new shiny multi-tool in hand (with him busting my b****) I went to work. Well, I dont know what on earth I was thinking, but the pedal completely blew up in my face. When the smoke cleared, the pedal was trashed and I had black smoke all over my face and arms. This sent my partner into a laughing fit; once I was no longer in shock the first thing I told my partner was that his nifty multi-tool was now sitting in 50 feet of water. He stopped laughing.

Point is dont mess with the pedal unless you disconnect the power source first! Doh!
