I have the same trolling motor. Went through two (both used) foot pedals last year that gave me the same business. It was only at certain speed settings.
Do you have a CoPilot remote to check if that works properly when the foot pedal is acting up?
Anyway, it sounds like dirty/corroded/faulty contacts in the foot pedal circuit board. A new foot pedal is $90. But I've heard guys say they've successfully cleaned theirs up and gotten them to work reliably again.
I do not have a co-pilot remote.
Where is the foot pedal circuit board? In the pedal?
The strange thing is sometimes wiggling the main power plug (not the pedal plug) would sometimes fix the problem. Extremely frustrating.
The other thing that is strange, is that the steer feature typically works. I can even hear the click when I turn the constant on.
I talked to a guy this morning that says maybe a seal is wrecked and leaks water in. I suppose that could cause intermittent random failure.
