Dodging the answer, here is the contact number of motorguide for support; https://www.motorguide.com/us/en/contact-support.html

MotorGuide Technical Service:

or use the form on the above page to contact them. A sheared pin, a low setting on the speed control, or a breaker problem all can cause failure to spin. https://www.boats.net/catalog/motorguide/trolling-motor/motorguide-pro-series/complete-trolling-motor-model-mp4300-12-volt

I'm sorry to hear that you are having trouble with your Motorguide Varimax Great White trolling motor. Here is a diagram of the upper control housing for the 2009 model that may be helpful:

1. Control housing assembly
2. Tilt tube assembly
3. Steering shaft assembly
4. Tension spring
5. Speed control knob
6. Directional indicator
7. Steering handle assembly

Regarding the issue with the motor only running in reverse, it is possible that there is a problem with the control housing assembly or the wiring connections to the motor. You may want to inspect the wiring and connections for any signs of damage or corrosion. If you are unable to identify the issue or make the necessary repairs, you may want to consider taking the trolling motor to a Motorguide service center for professional diagnosis and repair.
