equipped with sonar caught my eye. That would be nice.
I suspect your speed controller is a pulse width modulator as that is a simple and inexpensive way to do it.
They are simple to troubleshoot if they aren't bundled with bells and whistles and I would expect a simple trolling application is fairly straightforward. It used to be a Ham in the neighborhood could help you out. When I had busto electronics I found that a third of the time I could find the problem with a close visual and a sniff test. Only a third of the time did I roll out my scope.
Biggest failure item is the semis and then the C's. Then you need a friend with a soldering iron.

I don't think all Minn Kota's use resistor type speed controllers. I have a pair of MK-101's with very complex looking control mechanisms. Unfortunately I am not an electrical engineer and can't tell you exactly why they don't work right now.

this one is only for 12 volts but when you see how cheap it is using resistors is silly.
