Head Sensor Assembly
This assembly contains the directional sensors and the LED indicator board. A failure in the magnetometer or position sensor within this unit prevents the 'Blue Arrow' indicator from illuminating and stops the motor from receiving directional feedback, effectively killing the fly-by-wire steering function.

TMC (Trolling Motor Controller) Board
The TMC board is the central processing unit for the motor's brushless drive and steering servos. Thermal stress or moisture-induced micro-shorts on this board can cause the intermittent communication loss reported by users, where the foot pedal remains powered but the head unit ceases to respond to logic commands.

Steering Motor Gear Assembly
If the electronics are functional but the motor cannot physically pivot, the internal gear reduction or the steering actuator itself has likely experienced a mechanical seizure. This is often the result of excessive torque loads or internal seal failure allowing water into the steering housing.
