20 Most Recent Minn Kota Maxxum 70 Freshwater Bow Mount Trolling Motor Questions & Answers

If you have already replaced the control boards and the trolling motor still seems to lose track of its location, there are a few other things you can check:

1. The propeller may be damaged or bent, causing it to steer off course. Inspect the propeller for any visible damage and replace it if necessary.
2. The motor's GPS sensor may not be functioning properly. Check to make sure the sensor is clean and free of debris. You can also try recalibrating the sensor according to the manufacturer's instructions.
3. The wiring connections may be loose or corroded, causing intermittent power to the motor. Check all wiring connections for tightness and signs of corrosion, and clean or replace as necessary.
4. The foot pedal or remote control may be malfunctioning, causing the motor to steer off course. Check the foot pedal or remote control for any damage or loose connections, and replace or repair as necessary.

If none of these steps resolve the issue, you may need to take your trolling motor to a professional repair shop for further diagnosis and repair.

Good day , The next time the pin comes out have a close look at it if it has little raised grooves in it that is what is supposed to hold it in. if so put a little lock tight on the pin and push it back in it should hold again good luck Gordy

Does the splice get hot when you are running the motor? If yes, then the splice could certainly be the problem. I would have replaced the wire completely. However, the problem more than likely is the controller.

did you check for power between foot control and motor?

1. Short in the trolling motor itself 2. TOO SMALL a ground wire. ..need at least 8 gauge wire!!!! 3. Bad/dirty/corroded battery connections ..Make sure your battery/trolling motor is not accidentally touching the metal boat.. DO NOT CONNECT ANY WIRES TO THE BOAT!!! - PERIOD!!.

If brand new and not working properly, take it back and exchange it for one that works!

propeller could be slipping. It is sometimes held tight by a rubber washer that wears out.
