Location: WESTERN WI | Today I received my brand new foot pedal in the mail, plugged it in and it worked great. I decided to clean the connectors with a metal bristled brush, WITH THE POWER CONNECTED, OOPPS!!! One spark later with a few choice words and I have lost my MOM-CON. I can turn the motor left and right but can not engage the prop to turn. Interestingly enough my Co-Pilot will run everything. I have diagnosed it as a bad relay switch on the "motherboard."
I am looking for a motherboard for a 12V, Minn Kota 55 lb thrust PowerDrive. I will try my nearest Minn Kota Service Center shortly but was wondering if anyone has experienced a similar situaion with their trolling motor or someone has an extra motherboard there are willing to sell.
****THE CLOSER OPENING DAY GETS, THE MORE STUFF I KEEP BREAKING!!****

Location: WESTERN WI | I should have clarified more. The motherboard on the pedal is fine, the motherboard within the actual trolling motor is defective and is 3 years old. So the motherboard I am looking for is within the trolling motor base itself.
