I am not sure if this is the right place on the site to do this but .... I replaced a trolling motor on my buddies boat yesterday the old one a 2006 --2008 (looks like New) 12volt , 55lb maxxum 42 inch bow mount is now available for free, the catch is it only runs on high speed someone who is handy can perhaps revive it. If any one is interested pm me any club member or site visitor can have it must pickup in Sun City . If this should be in the wanted section please move it. Thanks
That's great Craig!
I had the same problem before and a new board solved it. Martin Marina in Mesa is the place to go for the parts. Or take it there and let Ernie fix it. He's an expert on Minkotas.
Jones Trolling Motor Service is one option for online parts. The other online place which I've used is Northland Marine - use the motor's s/n and year of manufacture for parts and wiring diagrams. Sounds like it's possibly the 5-speed switch in the foot control.

this motor has a zero to 10 rotating dial indicating it is a variable speed unit , I hope someone can make use of it . it is free
a update on this one the motor is a 2010, SERIAL NUMBER K328MK00096, the board to repair it runs anywhere from 109 on ebay to 199 from minnkota new if there are no takers for free in the next 24 HOURS I will fix it myself and craigslist it .
If I could use it I would grab it. Thanks for offering it for free.
I believe the motor is spoken for ,59wizard ,expressed an interest in it , it is his . Thanks for all your interest
