Minn Kota PowerDrive v2 with iPilot

55 pound thrust. Last time out it worked fine. Put in the other day and went to hit button on remote and got all icons to show up and then they go away. Tried several times with no luck. Replaced battery in remote, still no luck. Unplugged trolling motor for about 10 minutes, plugged back in still no luck. Tried to relearn the remote, get solid beep from TM, but when I push a button on remote don't get anything. Any one else ran into this? Talked to a guy who works on them and he said to make sure getting right voltage to TM which I checked and it was fine. I've only used this thing one season, gonna be pissed if it's something major.

I not saying to replace the battery in remote but i got a pack of batteries with two in the pack. Install one and used it that season. I figure when that battery went dead i would have a extra. So i put it in my wallet and sure enough i needed out on the lake. But it was dead too--- found out by going to radio shack and they tested it---- New battery and alls fine. I sure hope this helps.

I wish it would of helped too, thanks!

The remotes not finding the trolling motor, so must not be getting power to the trolling motor. Check voltage at the battery and then at the trolling motor. If it is good then take to a warranty center as it has a 3 year warranty. It may need a control board, but one year is a little early for that.

when you deploy the TM, do any of the lights come on? Not familar with the PD, but my Terrova indicates power when I deploy it. Check your main fuse(s) on the TM power cables, might have popped one.

We had the exact problem last week on my buddy's boat. Thought it was the remote, changed the batteries, no luck. Took it to shop, they found the battery cable was a bit loose on the ground post, cleaned it and redeployed the TM and it worked.
The manual says to store and redeploy you motor when you get this problem, sorta like rebooting a PC I guess. If you do that and it still does not relearn the remote, you probably have an electronics issue.
Hope it is as simple as ours was to fix.

Try a new battery in the remote. If that doesn't fix it go thru the procedure for it to learn a new remote. The instructions are in your manual.

I think Sea Ray is on the right track. Those loose battery cables will stop you dead. Plus the deploying and locking in the trolling motor to have it turned on properly too. Ferdi aka Fred

Powerdrive V2 does not have to be deployed or locked in place like the Terrova. Wires could very well cause the issues. Check circuit breaker also.

I've checked voltage and it is getting the right 12 volts, think it could still be a wire?

A fully charged battery should read 12.7 volts. As strange as it sounds, 12 volts is basically dead.

I would start there. Not that big a deal to go through the "dumb stuff" and eliminate them if nothing else. Good luck with it.

Thanks all of you for your replies, I posted this on Walleye Central and didn't get one response!! Thanks again! Will let you know when I get it figured out.
