My Minn Kota Power Drive motor does not work at all. It will not steer, and the main motor (the one that drives the prop) won't turn either. The battery indicator that's built into the unit won't light up at all. The batteries (I've tried 3 different batteries) all test fine with a volt meter, the circuit breaker is in the on position, and all the connections are tight. The unit uses a dedicated 30 amp circuit with a circuit breaker. It has a foot pedal control for steering and speed.
Does anyone have any experience with trouble shooting this motor or any tips?|||you've tested the battery, but did you measure voltage at the socket where the motor is plugged in?
|||First turn the unit upside down. If water comes pouring out the motor shaft you have a prop shaft seal gone or the big skinny "O" ring is bad. Take to a marine shop for repair as they had real tight tolerances. And the ball of wires that controlled the speed and forward and reverse had to be reconnected exactly right.|||Check all connections%26gt; check the out side of the circuit breaker%26gt; Is the a fuse inside the unit??
