hey guys.. needing some help. long story short i unloaded my little 16 ft. eldocraft into my local lake and the water was way up, making those big rocks come into the water, before i could get to my boat a few big boats hauled ass past the shore and caused my motor to slam into a rock (knocking one side of the mount on the transom off) so here i am with my big motor about to fall off fighting current and rocks. ANYWAY, after fixing that now my trolling motor is only working if i flip it to a forward setting which makes it stay on without touching the foot trigger. it will work on every speed setting as long as i have it set to that mode, but it wont work with me hitting the foot trigger.. anyone know what wouldve caused this before i work on it this week? im thinking its knocked a wire loose..

If you don't have a loose wire then you probably have a bad micro switch.

x2 they will bun themselves out from time to time. Should be a simple fix.

What trolling motor do you have?

sorry guys havent been on in a while.. its a motor guide power plus.. ended up being a loose connection on the battery post on BOTH TM and fishfinder.. time to get some lock nuts.
