I have a 55# 12v minn Kota powerdrive I'm having issues with. The unit won't turn to the right. Tried switching the pedal with someone else's and had the same problem. Before I take the trolling motor in to get looked at I was just wondering if anyone's had this same issue and what part ended up needing to be replaced and how much it cost. Thanks guys.

I had an issue like that and it turned out to be the mother board. When opened you could visually see a portion of it fried.

I ended up replacing it but was told they could replace that part...

I had the opposite problem with my powerdrive v2 40lb- it would turn but the prop wouldn't spin. It was the motherboard, very simple to replace. It cost around $120 or so, it depends on the model/serial# I think.
