Default Trolling Motor Killed?

So I'm preparing for the spring fishing up here in the Northeast and after being buried in 103" of snow I think I deserve it!! Anyways been preparing the boat and recently discovered the damn trolling motor is crapping out on me...This is what's going on:

Minn Kota 24V 76lb thrust
hit the power and the indicator light comes on no problem every time..however the motor won't turn the prop..If I bang on the pedal a few times it kicks on and runs fine for a while until you stop...try to start it again and the same problem...ocassionally it will work fine, but usually I got to beat the pedal to death to get it turn...

My thoughts: The control box or jumper that controls the power from the foot to motor is cooked...anyone ever experienced this..don't want to dish out more $$ for a trolling motor but will if I have too...and besides I'd much rather have a MOTORGUIDE..I think someone once said it best...B.O.A.T--break out another thousand
