If the unlatch mechanism on your MotorGuide Xi5 trolling motor is not working, you may be able to resolve the issue by following these steps:
Check the locking pin: The locking pin on the motor's deployment bracket may be preventing the motor from unlatching. Make sure the pin is in the unlocked position and that there is no debris or damage preventing it from moving freely.
Check the unlatch lever: The unlatch lever may be stuck or damaged. Try moving the lever back and forth to see if it can be freed up. If the lever is damaged, it may need to be replaced.
Lubricate the mechanism: If the locking pin and unlatch lever appear to be functioning properly, the mechanism may just be stiff or dirty. Try lubricating the mechanism with a silicone spray or other lubricant.
Check the wiring: It's possible that the issue could be related to a wiring problem. Check the wiring connections between the motor and the control head to make sure they are secure and free from any corrosion or damage.
If none of these steps resolve the issue, it may be necessary to take the trolling motor to a professional technician for further diagnosis and repair.
What is the voltage of the trolling motor (2 wire) (12V, 24V,36V?)you are trying to attach to the boat(3 wire). Please fill in more info and reply/repost to me. This is not a hard one!!
Thanks
You can get the appropriate pins in the prop not kits sold by minn Kota or thru major retailers. Trolling Motor Replacement Props Minn Kota Motors
You will find prop nut kits here just follow the link.
not enough info. I went the the min kota website, they show four maxxum 80's at different voltages.is it a 12v 24v or larger? without a year model I'll have no reference to what wiring schematic Is the fuse connected inline with the trolling motor? what size amp fuse are you burning up? well I can give you some troubleshooting tips. tools to buy (1) amp gauge. if you are unfamilier with amp gauges make sure you get instruction book with gauge or you could burn yourself. Toubleshooting(1) Remove cover off minn kota trolling motor. black cover ontop of unit were the foot control wires go into.turn over foot control remove cover (2) check for corrosion. any exposed terminals should be cleaned.(3) go to your batteries and clean all connections. make sure the batteries are fully charged.(4) take amp gauge and test positive wire for amp draw as you tun on trollling motor and run it through all speeds. if batteries are in the rear away from trolling motor get a 2nd person to control trolling motor. if the trolling motor is more than a 12v system you will have more than one positive lead to test.GOAL. What your trying to find out is how many amps the trolling motor is really pulling. and at what speeds. under a load in the water and out of the water.how many more amps than the fuse raiting? newer trolling motors come with inline breakers not fuses so I'm guessing your using 30 amp fuses. again without more info i can only guess.
To get 36 volts, number batteries 1 thru 3. connect pos 2 to neg 1, connect pos 3 to neg 2, connect pos 1 to trolling motor controller and neg 3 to ground on trolling motor. This is only a solution for 3 battery system. For 4 battery system, connect 4 to 3 pos to pos and neg to neg. [email protected]
