Signs It's Time to Replace Your 5-Speed Switch

If you're experiencing any of the following issues with your foot-controlled Minn Kota trolling motor, a faulty 5-speed switch is the likely culprit:

• Loss of a Specific Speed or Speeds: The most common symptom is the inability to engage one or more of the five speeds. You might find that your motor works on speeds 1, 2, and 5, but 3 and 4 are non-responsive.
• Intermittent Power: The motor may cut in and out when a specific speed is selected.
• Motor Only Works on the Highest Setting: A failure within the switch can sometimes result in the motor only operating at full power (speed 5).
• No Power to the Motor: In some cases, a completely failed switch can prevent any power from reaching the motor.
• "Mushy" or Indistinct Clicks Between Speeds: A worn-out switch may lose its crisp, tactile click when changing speeds, making it difficult to know if a gear is properly engaged.
