It's an Everstart Maxx, forget what series but it's the big yellow/black one, about 4 months old. Yes I've had a meter on it and it's fine.

I'm guessing it's some sort of frequency problem with the remote. I'll plug in the foot control, use that and see what happens.

Thanks everyone.

I use standard nuts rather than wingnuts and tighten with a wrench, I also keep the terminals clean. As I mentioned power is reaching the motor, it steers but does not turn the prop. I'll have to pull it off the boat and take it to the service center, was just hoping to avoid that. I've also heard t...

It's under warranty but the service center is a couple hours away and it's fishing time. It will still be under warranty come snow season so I may limp along until then. Btry connections are fine, the power is there just that the motor won't respond. Not insulting at all, I've been known to have tho...

Trolling motor problem

I have a strange recurring problem with a Minn Kota Powerdrive with a handheld remote. On three occasions when I hit the "on" switch the motor won't respond. I hear a "click" at the motor when depressing the switch but no power to the prop. I can turn the motor left and right wit...

We're open on that, looking at late May - early June (2011) or Sept-Oct. Thinking about Quinte as well. We haven't fished any of these locations.

Thanks and yes both of your answers are pretty much what I expected. More is always better, at least with TM power, I suppose I was looking for excuses to save the $$ between a 55 and 70+, not to mention the cost of an additional battery. I fish a lot of small, protected lakes but occasionally get o...

Another trolling motor query

I'm considering a 55 lb bow mount trolling motor for a Duranautic open 16' mod V. Total weight will be about 1200 lbs. Do you guys think 55 lbs is adequate?
Thanks
Mike

Thanks again guys. I'm getting the 70 lb Powerdrive but waiting until Feb 15 when Cabelas has a special starting, the Co-pilot at that time is included, at no extra charge beyond a $9.95 (US) shipping fee. Also free shipping on the motor itself. Thanks....Mike

Trolling Motors

First off, Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all! Question, does anyone have experience with the Minn Kota Powerdrive V2 or the Motorguide Wireless series bow mount and if so, what's your opinion. I'm looking for a bow mount which I can control from the stern. The V2 I see has a foot control on ...
