Minn Kota Powerdrive

Featured Replies

Bought a used PowerDrive and tried it out today before going to the lake. The motor doesn't run at any speed using either the momentary or constant switch. I hear a clicking noise in the box where the battery power indicator is.

Any ideas? It's a 45lb 48" shaft motor. I've installed it on a Tracker 1436 jon boat.

thanks

Power Drives are notorious for having foot pedal problems. See if you can borrow one to test your motor.

I couldn't locate another foot pedal so I installed the co-pilot I had to it. The steering works but the prop doesn't turn on. It just beeps. The wiring plug and receptacle I got with the TM had 3 wires on each side.

Power, ground, and the 3rd?

Did you make sure the shear pin wasn't broke or jammed up with fishing line?

Could be a burnt up motor.
