There is a good chance that he 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, the 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.
If you have the Auto Pilot feature on your trolling motor, you will have two control boards. The Auto pilot control board is likely the one causing the problem.If you have the Auto Pilot feature on your trolling motor, you will have two control boards.
