Minn Kota Ultrex Momentary Switch Repair

Рет қаралды 5,521

Жыл бұрын

In this video I"m showing how to quickly fix your Minn Kota Ultrex foot pedal momentary switch. Ultrex's have a common problem where the trolling motor either won't come on when you press the foot pedal switch, or the trolling motor is on and won't turn off when you deploy it. The fix is to adjust the momentary switch. You can do this easily while you're on the water. Hopefully this video saves someone day of fishing or family time from being ruined by what can be an easy fix.

This just started happening to me and your video was extremely helpful. I was not sure what was happening and how to fix it. I have replaced the steering senser board before and the on/off switch and knew they were not the problem. With and outing coming up this really was helpful. Thanks.

I appreciate you posting this. I just installed a new Ultrex and took it on the water for the first time this morning. When I took my foot off the switch it wouldn’t quit running unless I tapped it sharply. I pulled off out of the way and watched this video and within a few minutes it was working like it should.

This just happened to me, I went out to my favorite local lake excited to catch some April bass. I put the boat in the water and my F-ing Minn Kota Ultex did'nt work. I thought my batteries gave up so I fished without it. Today I bought 3 new 31 deeps and tested it....nothing. I was disappointed to say the least. I came in the house and U tubed it. That was it!!!! it took 3 minutes, you saved me!! Thank you so much

UPDATE: Issue fixed thanks to your video. Thanks for posting. If anyone knows the part number please share. My trolling motor won’t turn on and I suspect this is the issue. Power to the plug checked out fine. I’m going to give this a try and see if that’s what my issue is. Question, does anyone know what part number is for the switch? I think it would be a good idea to replace it as mine is 7 years old now. Thanks again!

Thanks for posting!! I'll have to give that a try when I get home later. When we went out yesterday, the handle you use to stow and deploy the trolling motor was caught under the pedal. To the point I had to use some force to pop it free. I noticed my momentary switch was not working all the time and had to rock the pedal back and forth a few times to make it work again. Apon investigation I found that the wires to the switch were pulled tight and assumed that I had made a short in the wires. If it is as simple as I had pulled the switch down it would be great. I have a tournament this weekend and the replacement switch is supposed to be 2-3 weeks out.

Thank you very much for watching and leaving feedback. Let me know if you have questions. I really hope this video was able to help you out. I've had to do this adjustment a few times over the last 3 years of having an ultrex. I could probably get another switch, but it seems the problem is very common, so I don't know that a new switch would really eliminate the issue entirely. Please keep me updated on how yours turns out! -Cody

@OutdoorQuests This worked perfectly for us. I over adjusted it a bit at first because it would stay on from time to time. I made one more minor adjustment, and it worked flawlessly for the remainder of the day. Thanks again for posting. You saved me some headache 👍

I really hope if you're having issues, the fix is this simple. It's why I wanted to put this info out there, because it's saved my butt a few times now. Thanks for watching!

Does the spit lock and continous button work when this happens because I loose everything when that happens no button on the pedal, no spot lock or continous

@OutdoorQuests 2 ай бұрын

I'm not sure. I've never used the continuous button, and I've not tried spot lock when the button issue happens. I'd think spot lock wouldn't be effected though.
