Thread: Rubber boot on trolling motor switch

A few weeks ago the button on my foot pedal stopped working...I took it apart and found that there's a little rubber boot that sits over top of a spring & cylinder....which in turn pushes down on a microswitch and in turn activates the prop to turn.

The rubber boot was dry rotted in half and no longer long enough to put pressure on the switch when I pushed down with my foot.

Long story short, I don't need a whole new switch, just the little rubber boot....any ideas where I can pick one up? FYI - I had it rigged up to work for about a month with a penny taped to the bottom of the plastic button and some caulk to hold the two ends of the boot back together...but it needs to be fixed right.

Motor Guide ain't it. I couldn't find one. I drilled a hole in the spray nozzel off an arosol can, trimmed it up & glued it over the switch. Been work'n fine for 2 years.

Give John Jones a call at 870 773 3474. He's an ASC for MK and MG and a good guy.

Yep, call MrJones...he hooked me up with some other parts a couple months ago...

Have you at least priced the whole switch assembly? I've replaced lots of parts on my trolling motors and all the parts have been reasonably priced. I'm guessing the switch would be under $20.

Pm me I got one here at the shop!!
