Minn Kota DeckHand 18 won't run

Did you check the breaker and fuse. The strain of a rope foul would trip the breaker. Page 18 shows breaker in circuit for the DH15 - DH25 https://productimageserver.com/literature/ownersManual/36957OM.pdf

iBoats https://forums.iboats.com > threads > fuse-or-circuit-pr... Mar 9, 2021 - I just purchased 2 Minn Kota DeckHand 40 anchor winches. They have built in circuit breakers, but should I also run fuses to them as well? You would need to strip it and test the motor. You can still get parts by the look of it. https://www.google.com/search?q=Minn+Kota+DeckHand+18 ..

Minn Kota Traxxis 80 Transom Mount Trolling Motor 80lb that squalled bad in reverse and dealer replaced lower unit it still squalls at half speed in reverse. Any ideas motor is just over a year old.

Question edited, removed 'Minnetonka', for the correct maker name. :>D Question moved to a Minn Kota category from Health and Fitness. If the repair was done under warranty, then that repair is still under warranty as it wasn't fixed. If you want to do it yourself, you would have to strip to find where the noise comes from and then rebuild with plenty of Lithium Grease.

I have a Minn Kota 315D 3 bank charger. When I plug it in to my electrical outlet only bank 1 shows a solid yellow light. I am not getting power to bank 2 and 3.

A solid yellow light on Bank 1 of your Minn Kota 315D 3 bank charger indicates that the charger is in "float" mode, which means it is maintaining the battery's charge at a safe level. It sounds like there may be an issue with the connections or wiring for Banks 2 and 3, preventing them from receiving power. Here are a few things you can try:
  • Check the connections between the charger and the batteries for Banks 2 and 3 to ensure they are tight and secure.
  • Ensure that the circuit breaker for the charger is not tripped.
  • Check the wiring for Banks 2 and 3 for any visible damage or corrosion.
  • Ensure that the batteries for Banks 2 and 3 are not in a low state of charge or are not faulty.
  • Try to reset the charger by unplugging it from the power source and plug it back in after a few minutes.

My trolling motor- 2007 70# Minnkota Powerdrive V2 seems to lose track of where it's at. I replaced both control boards and it still wanders off.

If you have already replaced the control boards and the trolling motor still seems to lose track of its location, there are a few other things you can check:
  1. The propeller may be damaged or bent, causing it to steer off course. Inspect the propeller for any visible damage and replace it if necessary.
  2. The motor's GPS sensor may not be functioning properly. Check to make sure the sensor is clean and free of debris. You can also try recalibrating the sensor according to the manufacturer's instructions.
  3. The wiring connections may be loose or corroded, causing intermittent power to the motor. Check all wiring connections for tightness and signs of corrosion, and clean or replace as necessary.
  4. The foot pedal or remote control may be malfunctioning, causing the motor to steer off course. Check the foot pedal or remote control for any damage or loose connections, and replace or repair as necessary.
If none of these steps resolve the issue, you may need to take your trolling motor to a professional repair shop for further diagnosis and repair.

My minn kota works great on dry land but wont work right in the water. It started after I went thru a very hard rain.

I don't know what you mean by it doesn't work right in water. Is the prop spinning correctly in water? If not, check the shear pin, it may be broken. If the motor bogs down, it may need to be dried out more.

Why is minn Kota I pilot power cutting off- batteries are charged

Do you have a remote-less unit Or a remote unit. Being a I Pilot I would think you do have a remote, if you left it in the box the unit is always looking for a signal that controls the computer connection. Take the remote and remove from I-Pilot so that the system goes into manufacturing manual

In the shaft about half way down there is a splitter that may have came loosen. I fixed mine with black tape. Not ideally what you want to do. But I have the same problem with mine on the lake and did a quick fix.

24 volt minn kota working fine tripped 60 amp breaker reset and have power to both brushes but motor wont turn

Make sure the motor turns freely by hand. If not, check to be sure there is no foreign material wrapped around the shaft, like fishing line or weeds. if the motor spins freely and still won't run the brushes may be stuck or worn out.

You can buy a (Battery Switch) that controls all your batteries. Where ever you turn the dial is what bank you will be using. As far as The trolling motor go get a three prong plug, female male ground and stand by. The wiring is so simple it you do this. Walld"
