Minn Kota Boating - Answered Questions & Fixed Issues
I left my minn Kota I pilot turn on will this be harmfull
Hi. I believe you are referring to a Minn Kota with i-Pilot GPS? If you forget to turn the power button off and the motor was not running (meaning the prop was not turning), your motor should be fine. Ultimately, if left on for long enough, it will drain the batteries and eventually turn off. This is not harmful for the motor.
For safety reasons (yourself and others), it's always best to disconnect the motor from the power source when not in use.

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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
I have a Minn Kota Traxxis 80, the proble is the extending handle free slides and is an irritation. Is ther a way to tighten the sliding extension.
Yes, there is a way to tighten the sliding extension on the Minn Kota Traxxis 80 handle. Here are the steps to follow:
- Locate the set screw: Look for a small set screw on the side of the handle where the sliding extension meets the stationary part of the handle. This screw is typically located on the underside of the handle and may require a small tool to access.
- Tighten the set screw: Using the appropriate tool, tighten the set screw by turning it clockwise. This will secure the sliding extension in place.
- Test the handle: After tightening the set screw, test the handle to make sure it is secure and does not slide freely. If necessary, adjust the set screw again until the handle is secure.
- Reassemble the handle: Once the sliding extension is tightened, reassemble the handle by replacing any covers or trim pieces that were removed to access the set screw.
Remember to use caution when working with small screws and tools, and to follow any safety guidelines provided by the manufacturer.

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.
