I have a two year old bow mounted Minn Kota 40 ibs. trolling motor. I
pulled it out yesterday to go do some fishing to find that the foot
peddel that gives the thrust for however long the peddel is pressed
didn't work. Everything else on the control works (ie left right
steering, the slide accuater, and the auto pilot switch) However I did
have to mess with it (move it back and forth) till it made good contact
and started working. I don't know where to start trying to resolve the
issue can anyone help?

Ryan,

First use contact cleaner on the connector plugs on the cord. If that
does not do it take it apart and clean it up. They are pretty simple
units. You should be able to find info on the Minnkota site, but I
have not been there in a long time.

Minnkota has authorized repair centers/people all over. Look on their
site for one near you if you have a problem or don't want to mess with
it yourself.
