Hello rhett700, you have crossed a wire connection on the switch or your reostat is shorted/bypassed. If need be contact 'www.minnkotamotors.com/index.asp' ask for ext#406 ask for Dave. Have your model & serial # on hand. He is a good guy. Merry Christmas.

SOURCE: MinnKota Endura 50 Runs only in high speed in forward and reverse

the coil pack is likely bad especially since you changed the switch. call minkota and get the bench tast info (very simple) and then order and replace the coil pack about 26 dollars. be very careful how you put the magnet assembly back together and mark the position of the case on the outside before disassembly. order a new seal kit and use locktite on the shaft again when reassemling to seal the shaft tube for water. dont run motor uout of the water much as it uses the water to cool the shaft and you can damage the seals. good luck.

SOURCE: My Johnson Escape boat w/ Minn Kota engine stopped running

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.

Why would a craftsmen lt 2000 go faster in reverse then forward

It depends what setting you have it on. The forward setting is on the head. Where the reverse is at the back or front of trigger. Generally the speeds are 1 to 10 plus a drill setting. Just turn it to the speed you want. There is no speed adjustment for reverse only by using the pressure on the switch with your finger will control it. When drilling metal, use some WD40 or thicker oil. Saves your bits.

1999 crest pontoon with 50 horse power johnson. After backing up boat in reverse sometimes when put in forward engine will propel boat at about half speed

Have some one shift and watch what happens as it sounds like the linkage is "over center" when it gets to reverse. This would look like a full "link and sync" should be done. (you might also check prop for a spun hub)

Shoprider deluxe te-889af loses power when reversing

I think that this is usual to have a slower reverse speed for safety.But on your shoprider you should have 4mph and 8mph ,usually if you are at 8mph it won`t reverse at that speed, you have to go to 4mph ,look infront of you there is a dial this controls the speed that you go forward and reverse.If reverse speed needs to be increased turn the dial up,but don`t forget this also increases forwards.
