I had a controller go bad on my v1 24v powerdrive. I spliced in a v2 control to the v1 board. Works good, even my autopilot works.

Good info, thank you for sharing! I would be interested in changing that controller board on the motor, AND, updating to it's matching newer foot pedal as well (which is still readily available as of 2022) It would also save the step of changing foot pedal connectors to the controller. I battle with the original pedal due to its control locations, the newer style makes more sense to function for me.

Update, pedal contacts are laid out differently. V2s have 6 wires where v1s have 7, I had to update my control board and just use the v2 pedal as is. Also, tip, if you decide to update your control board to use the newer foot pedals, make sure you are purchasing the correct one for your motor. Either with or without autopilot, I made the mistake of buying the one with auto when I didn’t have a yellow/green wire to connect. Was able to exchange but just wanted to let you folks know! Happy fishing!

Everyone says that the v1 is analog and the V2 is digital. In theory the motors don't know it's either one. But the copilot is V1 analog it's kind a strange it is talking to digital V2 control board??? Everyone is working for Minn Kota that is saying this apparently.

my wiring was a bit different. the yellow, white, brown, black, red, etc.... coming out of the spiral cord from the head of the motor didn't get plugged in at all. they were just left inside the center section just unplugged from anything. as my v2 board didn't even have the corresponding wires coming out of the board. everything still worked as normal. so strange. did I do something wrong? or order the wrong board? im assuming those wires are for the autopilot. EDIT I just realized that I ordered the board for v1 W/O autopilot. MAKE SURE TO ORDER THE CORRECT BOARD

I've had the steering go out on several autopilot boards. The culprit is usually a transistor. They used 2 each, TIP41 and TIP42, to create the H-bridge that allows the steering motor to be driven both directions. If autopilot only corrects 1 direction, it is likely that one of those transistors has failed. I have replaced the faulty component on one of my boards, but haven't patched the potting or put it back in service.
