Super User iceintheveins Posted May 28, 2020 Super User Posted May 28, 2020 The cables came loose from the pulley while attempting a repair. How can I get the proper cable back on the pulley? Also, my foot control is stuck and won't steer my motor. I tried loosening the front screw under the pedal but that didn't work. Help me get this baby working again, I'm going insane. It is a Minn Kota Edge 55. Quote
Super User iceintheveins Posted May 28, 2020 Author Super User Posted May 28, 2020 I got the cables on the pulley, but now I have the opposite problem. They are too loose, and the pedal moves without steering the motor. The screw at the bottom of the foot pedal is tightened all the way. Quote
Super User iceintheveins Posted May 28, 2020 Author Super User Posted May 28, 2020 I took the cover off the powerhead. Where do the right and left cables go, both are loose? Quote

Super User senile1 Posted May 29, 2020 Super User Posted May 29, 2020 It sounds like the cables aren't routed correctly. I successfully replaced broken cables on my old Minn Kota Maxxum last Autumn. Before doing so, I watched a YouTube video to make sure I was properly routing them. I suggest finding a video for the Edge. They may route the same as the Maxxum but you should confirm this. Quote
