Humminbird TM problem- please help

[Fishinman91]

Sorry I dont know why i put Humminbird in the header....In my rage, i was confused....

I bought a used Minn Kota 24v 65lb thrust TM. The guy said it was about 5 years old. I tried it out before i bought it and it seemed to work fine. But now it seems that it doesnt want to run. I just paid to have it installed on my boat too!

It is foot controlled and when i press on the foot button there is a slight clicking sound. The sound is coming from the electronic componets in the foot pedal. Kinda like a tiny squeek. After a while, the motor seems like it tries to turn ( I can feel some type of movement in the shaft and motor) but doesnt. If i continue to do this, it eventually will start the motor on the TM but not always. Its like it has to warm up or something. Has anyone ever ran into this problem...

Just my luck...right when the fish start biting too.


thanks for any help.
