Ok, just got thru calling MinnKota. They were great. Sending me a new "plunger array" and rubber button gaskets for my controller. Very painless, and actually talked to an american (lol), after going thru a couple of auto response questions to get me to the right person. Thanks MinnKota.

I will compare the new array to the old one when I get it...to see if I can see any upgrades to the design.
