I have an older Powerdrive V1 trolling motor. The motor and foot pedal were working fine yesterday. Well, I bought a used copilot for it and plugged it in today. It would start the prop, but wouldn't steer the motor. After trying to reprogram the remote, I gave up.
Here's the big problem.....read slow so you can follow what's going on.
Now when I plug in the foot pedal(copilot not attached) to the motor...it steers the head left/right just fine, but now won't turn the prop. I can hear a "click" when I press the momentary and/or "on" button, but the prop doesn't move.....
If I plug the copilot back in to the trolling motor....and plug the foot pedal into the copilot, I CAN get the prop to run....but lose the ability to steer the motor left/right.
The seller is willing to take the copilot back, but if I send it back to him..I'll be left with a trolling motor that I can turn left/right, but can't run the prop.
Anyone have any clue what's going on with this?
