| I have had problems with mine as well.......I just talked to a service center today ( not minn kota this time ) and they told me that the best thing you can do is flush the pedal out with water everytime you use it........I don't mean throw it in the bottom of your pool for two days, but quickly flush it with some water. They said that the main reason for failure is the same as someone up here said, the bubble pops and then water gets in and ruins it, whether it be in the form of lake water or moisture from temperature changes,etc. The reason for flushing the pedal is a little bit of sand or grime gets on the bubble....then when you push down on it the grime digs into the bubble, and after a while pops it. The flushing will help keep the grime off of the bubble......now naturally if you are already having issues and your bubble is open, this probably wouldn't be a good idea, just keep that in mind....instect the bubble ( you can see it in between the pedal and bottom piece ) and flush with water as long as the pedal is ok.......the ideal thing to use would be contact cleaner, but obviously most people don't have a can just hanging around on their boat....hope this helps you guys get a little more time out of your pedals, it has made mine last 3 years....it's just now starting to flake out. | |
