Steering motor. Mine go out every 3-4 seasons. I've been replacing them since the late 1990's, on nearly every series of bow-mount Minn Kotas that have ever existed. The older white tops, power drives, and i-pilots. If your remote is working at all, then its the steering motor. You need to test with your spare remote. NO spare remote for a Minn Kota? Big mistake. I carry three on the boat for mine, and keep another spare or two at the house. I wear them out seasonally. Borrow or find another remote or foot pedal. (Its a pedal, not something that's peddled!) That will tell you if its the remote/pedal or the steering motor.
