Subject: RE: MinnKota Power Drive foot pedial issues


Went through 4 of them last year... I tore one of the foot pedals apart and it is the design of the foot pedal that is the problem... There is a nylon (I believe is the material) part that wears out. When this part wears out, it will no longer push the fingers down to hit the button on the control module that will turn the foot pedal to the left and right... Minn Kota has aparently fixed this issue with their new model, unfortunatly you can not retrofit the new foot pedal with an existing powder drive model... So if you want to solve the problem you need to go spend another thousand $$ to Minn Kota for their new and improved model... If you choose to keep your current model, keep feeding Minn Kota $75 a pop for foot pedals, I think their design engineering manager needs a new pair of shoes... In the mean time, I personally keep 2 extras in my boat at all time, this does not include the one I am using.....
