Ultrex Frozen Pedal

[ezfishn]

First time problem with this late 2016 model. When I first deployed the motor yesterday morning I could not move the pedal. All other buttons worked and I could move it with the remote. I was fishing a small tournament with our club so had to use the remote most of the day but there were random times throughout the day the pedal would work. It seemed to be a random problem throughout the day. At times it worked normal and other times would work but with greater resistance in the pedal. Batteries are good and no obstructions in the pedal. Any ideas on what to check? Thanks

That is typical symptoms of the sensor board failure. Take it to an ASC and they will fix it under a service bulletin order, or under warranty depending on the age.

Thanks Mr. Jones. I purchased from you and registered it in Jan 2017 so believe it will be under warranty.

Thought you did. If you need proof of purchase, let me know

Just to confirm the problem was the sensor board. It was replaced and all is back to normal again. Thanks

Turns out it wasn't a sensor board. Worked fine at shop after it was replaced and then first trip with it on the water and same symptoms...frozen pedal. Had to use the remote for the day. They are now saying it might be a sensor and something to do with the servos.
