I took my Motor Guide apart to do some troubleshooting and saw a circuit board that looked like the mother board from my laptop. I carefully put the top back on and brought it to The Trollmotor Shop in Baton Rouge...I got "skeered"...

take all the screws off, the handle and the cover aswell?

yeah take all the screws out and the top of the control box will pop off then you jsut remove the speed control box thingy. it has like 5 wires that hook to it. just remeber where they are and how the old one layed in there and you should be ok........ this is how mine was i had a 70lb minn kota riptide. but as long as it ain't digital you should be ok

the handle should just slide off once the cover is off

I alway draw a picture of where the wire connect.....write down the color of each wire. If you have 2 wires of the same color....put a little piece of tap around one of the wires.

Double check the drawing.....before disconnecting the wire. Yes....this takes a little while to do-----but it can save you hours, when putting it back together.

as an electrician I agree with this statement 110%

I just did this on my 5 speed module on my foot controlled motor on saturday. What I did was take the replacement and put it right next to the old one that I was taking off and I would unplug one wire at a time from the old one and put it on the new one. Then chunk the old one and install the new one with all the wires plugged in the right location.
