Yes, I unplug the trolling motor, turn off both Lowrance units , and disconnect power to the buss that controls the Lowrance units. I then turn off the pedal. I have tried turning off the pedal first. MG rep suggested that I take the pedal in the house and turn it off, and keep it there until I need to use it. None of those things worked. The pedal that I received this week has not even been paired with the motor, and it is draining down just like the others.
