Minn Kota issue

[salmonite]

I have a Minn Kota 24v 70lb power drive v2. Fully operational with power left to right turning but no thrust in the motor? Spins for a second and stops. 

The batteries are full charged via multimeter, on board battery charger and the indicator on Minn Kota. 
I first thought the batteries were wired wrong but those are fine, then checked the prop to see if something was wrapped around the shaft but it was free…
 

any idea what else to check?

Are all the connects tight? I had this happened to me, and my ground had come loose. Quick fix

in the plug? Or the actual motor?

Watched a couple video online, sounds like my control board is toast. I’ll replace and see if that fixes it

Read something about making sure unit is unplugged when charging. Or you’ll fry an in-line fuse or worse board.

Interesting good to know, just by luck I didn’t charge with it plugged in. I did find a fuse in the head and it was still good to go.  
I’ll see if it’s the board.

What year is it? Does it work with the foot petal? Try to reset the motor if not I brought mine to esskay yards in brewerton. They got it done quick

It’s a 2015 and doesn’t have a foot pedal… weird right?

Was the control board. Up and running again
