Please read instructions throughout before beginning replacement

This guide is for customers that need to replace their speed switch. This guide provides detailed step by step instructions to help Newport trolling motor customers with the disassembly process of the old switch and installment of the new switch.

If the top cover does not fit securely, check to make sure there are no obstructions. Common areas are where the top cover and control head moldings meet.

Wires can also interfere with the screw housings that connect the two halves together.

Also, make sure that none of the wires are being pinched when reassembled.

Enjoy your new switch! Let us know if you have any questions or need help with this installation.
