kms399 Posted May 3, 2011 Posted May 3, 2011 So I have a 80# minnekota Vector 3X transom mount trolling motor which has been giving me some problems lately. whats happening is when I turn it on the prop wont move till about the 2 setting and then it is jerky, when I get to higher settings it vibrates quite a bit. I took the prop off and watched the shaft, there is no bend that I can see. It also seems to be killing my battery faster than normal plus a drop in power. any suggestions is this something I would be able to fix myself? Quote

scrutch Posted May 5, 2011 Posted May 5, 2011 call Minn Kota and complain to them they may have a fix X2. I've had great experiences with Minn Kota's customer service. They should be able to help you out. Quote
snapperd1 Posted May 6, 2011 Posted May 6, 2011 Most likley the switch is going bad order one and replace it. This is an easy fix should not take long at all. Good Luck, TomD Quote
