    Default Trolling Motor Reverse stopped working


    I'm on my 3rd trolling motor. Aggravating the low quality of stuff these days. Just bought Maxxum 70 hand model last year after going thru 2 Minn Kota 80 lb thrust. At any rate, the reverse stopped working Friday. I'm thinking the switch needs to be replaced. ???? I ordered on just to see but I really hate tinkering with them, but no reverse is not good how I like to fish. I jig fish.

    Had the same type issue with the Minn Kota along with a cracked shaft. My luck with trolling motors suck. They aren't cheap!!!

    They are built very cheaply these days. I have a hand held I hand jig with. I don’t ever use reverse, just turn the head around.

    Yeah I did that yesterday. Not ideal. Especially for something less than a year old that cost $900 plus.
