It's an old MotorGuide from 93.  The pedal slips through tension and motor sometimes turns and sometimes doesn't.  This happened toward the end of the day and didn't get a chance to look into it.  I'm assuming it's an aircraft cable assembly that runs from the pedal to the head connected to some gearing that actually manipulates the motor through the shaft?  If my guess is right, the first place to open up is the control head of the trolling motor, correct?

Go online and look up Motor Guide mechanical foot control maintenance. You may need the model number for specific parts to repair and install.

Look at the backend of the foot peddle for a slot with steering cable end that has a swaged metal ball on the end. Sometimes this cable and bass get out if the slot preventing/the steering to work.

Hope it’s that simple!

Makes sense, starting there might be fortunate for a quick turnaround!
