Has anyone had any problems with the new footpedal units ?
I was out last week fishin in the rain, so we went out today and the foot pedal works but none of the switchs will work, they light up but wont activate the motor, mom and com and ap switches all dont influncethe motor
the motor is always on the only way to shut it down is to unplug it or turn it down to zero on the speed control
motor works just fine when unplugged and running with the link remote
thanks guys
tryy unplugging the foot control wire from the unit and drying the plug out, air compressor on low psi should dry it out, shake the foot pedal as well and see if any water comes out.
Jimp thank you sir I will give that a try
again thank you sir
just a thought, hope it works
I just purchased one, for the cost I would expect it to be weather proof
never had a problem with mine.....been useing it for two years now
thanks guys I talked to Minnkota this morning, they are sending me a new footpedal
I have to say that JOI aka minnkota and humminbird have really stepped up to help me solve all of my issues
I can only say thank you to them, they really seem to want to please their customer's
again thank you all for your answers and advise
i have replaced the foot pedal and remote out of my wallet for mine in about 3.5 years and I will have to say the MinnKota has been everything but helpful. I bought a Lowerance HDS 10 just to keep from dealing with them again.......Glad you got good service.
hey Shooter I'm really sorry to hear of your bad dealings with minnkota and I think they are comming around to be alittle better that they were in the past
oh and I do like lowrance products and have owned them in the past, I have 4 low units out in the garage now but have new HB locator and minn TM now
again sorry to hear of your troubles sir
Short Grub.....I think both Lowrance and HB have gone through cycles of service over the years. Like your signature too...
I had the same issue as you Short Grub, and my foot control had to be replaced too. Just had to send it back and they sent me a new one.
my new foot pedal showed up today, now if the wind would get below 20 MPH I'd go try it out
