    Default Trolling motor problems


    Used my new MinnKota Power Drive V2 for the first time yesterday. After about 5 minutes it just shut down. I would push a button on the remote and it would lite up with all the icons on it the suit off after a few seconds. I called MinnKota but they are closed already. Anyone got an idea what's going on width it? Thanks in advance for any feedback.

    Get you a resettable 50 amp breaker and get rid of that fuse.

    Now just how lucky can you get. On the bright side it was not a defective unit.
