    Default Minnkota foot control


    minnkota motorguide

    My new boat has a minnkota 80 lb thrust tr. motor on it. I sure like the motor, but I can't get used to the activation switch on it. It takes more pressure than what I'm used to on my motorguide. Is there a way of reducing the spring pressure on the switch?

    You will laugh at my temporary solution. I cut a piece of lathe, put some butyl rubber on one side and stuck it to the switch. Raising it that much made a world of difference. Now that I know that works, I may have to find something that looks a bit less cobbled
