Minn Kota Powerdrive problem

[Rich Stern]

The MK Powerdrive on my pontoon boat is on the fritz. Turning motor works. When I try to turn the prop on, I get a click, and nothing.



Haven't torn it down yet, just hoping for clues from this wiley old crowd.

Could be the switch Rich. I've seen 'em go before. If not that, it's likely the relay.

Rob, I think you are right on the money. I've got it disassembled on the bench this evening, and the relay is clicking, but not delivering 12 volts to the output side.



Unfortnately, the relay is part of the coated/sealed circuit board assembly. Don't see an easy way to get the relay off without ruining the board.
