YES, please check all the connections on the foot pedal. Sometimes water can sneak in there and get in the switch. Happened to ours. Also, check the connection where the pedal is plugged into the boat. Ours got a little fried this winter and melted some plastic… lol not. And if you can, check the head where the cables go to and check the connections there as well. hope i helped…Dan Yonan. ———————————————————
