minn kota help please!

[Wadey]

I have a minn kota forward mounted engine the foot control [mom.con] is playing up, it works fine except the engine will not go left when the peddle is depressed left, it will turn right when depressed right, but not left, [ it had worked previously] any one able to help

[tin can]

Most of the Minn Kota foot controlled motors have two steering cables. I would suspect one of yours is broken.

[wevans]

Take the top off "four screws up from the bottom half" and watch the cables as you move the foot "or try and look at the cable conection at the foot". The cable could be broke, or it could have come disconnected at the foot or head

[Wadey]

My other minn kota is how you guys describe but this one has no cables, I have taken off the right hand side which controls the on/off and 0 to 10 speed by removing 3 screws, it is all electric , 6 wires, white, green, orange,brown, red and yellow, they seem connected fine, sealed in with some sort of silicon, the other side{left/right control] is held in with 3 springs, it also is connected to the electric control panel, I think I should just clean it and see what happens.........bet I mess it up

[Fisherman989]

It's probably the electronics package in the control box that has gone bad. I have had the remote controll Minnkota for several years....and I had the exact trouble you are having. My option was to repair it....or get a new one. I got a new one and have been using it for about 7 years with no trouble.

[wevans]

Give us the make and model Wadey we was going on the assumption that it was the manul steer, not the electronic steer

Impressive tin can! You are a true man of the globe.

Nothin to it. Went to Minn Kota's web site. I knew they were international.

Also, I'm an endless source of useless knowledge.

England is about the size of Rock Island, it shouldn't be far from Wadey's house.

Just a stones throw away!

TC thanks for that, I already tried them but "JOHNSON OUTDOORS INC. UK" don't have dealings with foot controlled motors! or so the guy on the phone reckons

wevans, I have taken it apart and it is a mechanical problem not electrical I can get it to work fine by sliding the contact switch left and right over the control circuit, but when it's put together it works one way only, I guess the part that moves the contact switch over is worn, this is the model I have, may have to get a new one, thanks for the help Gentlemen

[wevans]

No offense Wadey but a picture don't help none the model number is on it somewhere and that is the only way to find a part for it, or schematics or anything else

Looked on ebay I can get a second hand one from the USA delivered for around $100, may have to do that, just out of interest this is what the Main UK dealer had to say in response to an e-mail I sent requesting advice as to what my options were:-

I assume that they don't want to sell me a service or replacement foot control if I didn't buy the original from the UK!

[wevans]

Did you ask them if they sold parts for the foot? that part # is for the whole foot assembly This is where I get all of my parts from
