Need some help.....I have a '06 Minn Kota 101 that the foot pedal started to act up recently. I touch the foot pad several times before it activates. I have had a few times where I have to literally pull the lanyard, as if I am stowing the system, in order to get it to power on. I have new batteries, clean terminals, all connections are tight. Not sure of the issue. Any solutions, or ideas? Appreciate any advice. Thanks much!

Fortrex? Maxxum? Terrova? Powerdrive? A model will help as they have different foot pedals. Also, Minn Kota is very helpful in diagnosing problems. Try giving them a call tomorrow.

It sounds like what mine did last year. I had to replace the entire circuit board inside the pedal and it was as good as new. But give MK a call first to get their help.

Its a Maxxum, and thanks. I'll look them up and try. Someone local said possibly the circut board as well. Just trying to figure it out without alll the hassle of the dealership.
