Check for rocks or debris stuck in the pedal.... If not then pull the top cover on the motor and look at the pulley cable drum. Here's a schematic: Max 55 bowmount Best of luck! Mike

Minn kota 74 lbs. prop runs when head turns when rotating motor from centre to right, but stops when you turn motor from centre to left. The light on top stays on.
You should only use the MOM (or momentary) setting when using the push button the foot pedal. Con will just keep the motor running and your foot control will only allow for direction and speed!
The pedal has generally four functions:
1) Forward and back on the pedal make the motor go left and right (push forward to turn the motor right, push back to turn it left)
2) Momentary power - the little 'button' towards the top will engage the motor as long as you press down on it.
3) Selector Swith - on the side of the foot pedeal there is a switch with the following settings Con - Off - Mom (Continuous - keeps the motor going all the time, Off - well it's off and Mom - will only go when you press the momentary button).
4) Speed select - the knob on the left controlls how fast the motor goes.
It takes some getting used to but offers tremendous control and hands free operation!
There is a good chance that he control board is bad. This is a common problem with these units. I have replaced my control board twice.. When the control board goes out, the some function of the unit will not work correctly while other functions work fine. The first time mine went out, the prop motor would not work. The last time the board went out, the unit would only steer right.
