Just installed a Lowrance 48”fw recon and everything works except steering. I can seeit on my network can connect to my remote, foot pedal and iPhone app. I can turn on the prop and increase speed but nothing will make the shaft turn. I can turn it by hand (easily and can hear the gears/motor turning) but can’t with anything else (remote, foot pedal or mfd). I’m guessing the steering motor isn’t getting power or something like that (it makes zero noise when I ask it to turn). It does throw an error code for bow offset and compass calibration but I can’t do either of those because the motor won’t turn. It’s acting like a fuse is blown but I don’t think there is any owner serviceable fuses. The breaker didn’t trip anyway and I’m obviously getting power to the prop. I have a call into Lowrance but they are out of the office till Tuesday I assume. Any ideas?
Btw if I can get the steering thing fixed it will be a super nice TM. The foot pedal feels nice and the remote with the joystick feature will be epic. Super quiet and pushes the boat (champ 202) nicely.
