    Please review the Announcements at the top of the Forum (required info).

    Check bow and cowling switches first- moisture can cause problems with any switch of course.

    Could be a bad switch. First check you trolling motor cord and make sure it is not on the front switch....ask me how I know. Then make sure water did not get into the switch. Now you have three switch's. Unplug then one at a time ........Last you could have a bad relay - there are 2 of them. Unplug them - one at a time.

    Found out when getting out on to the trailer I must have pulled the locator cable under the bow trim switch. Thanks transdep1.
