jc,

OK cool not that I wish this on anyone, but it's good to here that I'm not the only
one who is having these issues.

Now......I spoke with a rep last night and here what he said:

1) you take your rig to a lake with sand, some amount of sand or similar
get on the circuit board, it perferrates the board, it then lets water in.
water then fries (eventually) the contact points.

2)how to help, lightly hose down the unit. Be sure to vaccume out the
sand out of the boat ASAP.

3)other option the co-pilot it's about $150. but comes with a two year
warrenty. Better than $420 of foot pedals in the same span.
-i'm trying this one


But I do agree MinnKota needs to re-adress if in three years the cost
can outweight the intial cost. That's my polite version of my thoughts

Thanks
Karl
