ive got a edge bowmout 55  5 speed handle today out on the water  the forward speed just quit working now it only works in reverse forward nothing anybody had this happen any ideas appreciated   ;D

I bought a 70 pound edge foot pedal control and it stopped working on me.  I tapped the top unit and it started working.  It stopped again and i tapped it again and worked again.. I took it to Academy and had it replaced.  I had a month with the motor.  Never found out what was wrong with it.  All i wanted was a new motor. 

I've run a 70 Edge for the past 3 years with a couple minor issues, one of which was due to operator error.  I run it pretty hard in some thick grass and I ended up melting the brushes in the lower unit.  The other issue was when it would only run on two speeds.  I believe some circuit board went bad.  It was replaced and ran fine.  Other then that, it has run great since the day it was installed. 

I have owned a few Minn Kotas over the years and they do their quirks.  I have control switch and button go on the pedal, but both were easy to fix myself.
