Motor guide help

Post by balou »

Going Dundee tommorrow and just notice my 80 MG not working when connected.
Just the battery status light comes on.

No response to remote and motor locked in.

Only 3 months old

Any ideas? Thanks

Had similar issue not long after buying mine. Fixed it by disconnecting from power supply, ie the batteries. After a couple of minutes reconnected and MG was fine. Happened again a few trips later and did this and it has been fine ever since. Good luck!

Try syncing the remote with it again and see if it'll work.. Bit of luck it might be just the lights. Only my battery light works at the moment but it functions fine.

I have had the same problem but when I engaged the motor down and back up to storage position and then back to driving position it seemed to work. Must be like a refresh button???? Compared to minn kota they're awesome

I'm sure it will just be a simple rebooting exercise. Hopefully you'll wake up in the morning to find the pixies have fixed it.

Hey balou. I had the same problem mate. It had to go back into IOB marine. It's a common problem. Got it back 2 weeks later. Apparently it's been happening to a lot of them....
