Motor runs fine in reverse, but will not run forward. The variable speed control display indicates power to the motor in forward, but the prop doesn't spin.
Need the model #. During the mean time(back in the buggy farm) trace the wiring & check the control switch operation including the connections. Trial & error-swap the polarity on the main power feed to motor control & check ops. Motor runs forward, motor OK.
SOURCE: Prop spins slow on any speed on the foot pedal
There is a good chance that the control board is bad. This is a common problem with these units. I have replaced my control board twice. When the control board goes out, some function of the unit will not work correctly while other functions work fine. The first time mine went out, the prop motor would not work. The last time the board went out, the unit would only steer right.

I've had the same problem. It steams from the control panel. I took and ran a seprate ground wire directly to the motor. This is simple to do and takes 15 minutes. Starting in the battery compartment feed cable into the split-loom and continue feeding until reaching the control panel. Pull an extra 5 foot of cable and open dry hatch in rear by motor feed cable around and out to motor connections., Good time to replace rotary switch and circuit breaker. These also are trouble-some parts.
