2 years ago I added the co-pilot unit to my powerdrive tm with autopilot. It has worked flawlessly till this week. After a 3 month layoff, I finally got a chance to take the boat out. When I plugged up the tm, the powerhead rotated 1 1/2 turns to the left on it's own. After that, nothing. The hand-held wireless remote did nothing, no beep from the co-pilot or anything. The tm still works fine with the corded foot control.

Mine is an older powerdrive with the black plug. I have to unplug the copilot to plug in the corded foot control. Every time I plug in the copilot module the tm powerhead rotates 1 1/2 turns to the left on it's own again. I have tried changing batteries in the cordless remote unit with no effect. If anyone has suggestions I would love to hear them. Also, I recall that there is a way to program the unit to match up with the handheld control but can't seem to find the owner's manual. I suspect that could be the problem but don't know.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions or sympathy.
