Hey guy's anyone know where to get a controller board for a older model Powerdrive 36 beside's Minn Kota .The motor work's great but only has full speed or off no variable speed the only thing I can figure is maybe the resister's in the board fried.
Power drives don't use speed coils (resistors) as its a pulse-width controlled motor at all speeds except wide open. You can buy the entire foot pedal for about $75 at Cabelas. Haven't looked at iBoats. Perhaps Craigs List or E-bay.
Thank's for the reply Silvertip my pedal work's fine it's the controller board at the base of the motor that I am needing the power wire's from the battery plug right into it here is a link to a site but they dont show a price it's part 51
Reply is basically the same. You get the part from MinnKota (or one of their repair centers), E-bay, Craig's List, or enter the part number in the Google or Yahoo search box and hit the go button. See what turns up.
Thanks Silvertip I called Minn Kota and the part was no longer avaiable .So I called around and found one at a Service center in Louisiana for 125.00 guess it beats buying a new motor .
