Toolixor Control Box Housing & Gear Kit for Minn Kota Fortrex & Maxxum — Yellow Arrow, Complete Foot Control Repair

Complete control box housing and gear replacement kit that renews the foot control for Minn Kota Fortrex and Maxxum trolling motors with the yellow directional arrow.

This Toolixor kit gives you every internal part and both housing halves needed to rebuild a worn or damaged foot-control box without buying a full replacement motor. Designed as a direct-fit service part for Fortrex models (2008–present) and Maxxum models (2011–present), the set restores the directional indicator, internal drive gears, and protective casing so your trim and indicator respond reliably again.

How will this kit restore my motor’s directional indicator?

If your yellow-arrow indicator sticks, misaligns, or doesn’t move, the kit replaces the core components that wear: the indicator drive, indicator gears, spring, pointer, and light assembly. Together these parts reestablish smooth movement and visible directional feedback.

• Includes indicator drive (yellow), three white indicator gears, and indicator pointer for accurate alignment.
• Indicator spring and nylon washer restore tension and reduce slop.
• Replacement light bulb assembly improves low-light visibility of the arrow.

Will the housing protect against water and debris?

The package supplies a new top cover and bottom base that form a tighter enclosure around electronics and moving parts. Replacing the cracked or worn housing reduces water intrusion and keeps grit out of gear teeth.

• Durable top cover (part 2280202) and bottom base (part 2282500) for a sealed enclosure.
• Precision screw set secures both halves to maintain the protective fit.
• New housings help prevent future corrosion and mechanical wear.

Is installation something I can do myself, and what hardware is included?

The kit was packaged for straightforward DIY installation; it contains every fastener and internal component required to rebuild the control box. If you can follow basic disassembly steps and keep track of screws, the repair is achievable at home with common hand tools.

• Complete hardware: three #8-32 x 1/2" base screws and four #8-18 x 5/8" top cover screws.
• All internal parts: indicator gear set, drive, spring, pointer, nylon washer, and light bulb assembly.
• Direct-fit parts numbers match factory replacements for easier identification.

Does this kit fit my Fortrex or Maxxum model?

This is a direct replacement for foot-controlled Minn Kota Fortrex models from 2008 onward and Maxxum foot-control models from 2011 onward, specifically for units that use the yellow directional arrow. Confirm your control box uses the same arrow-style indicator to ensure compatibility.

• Compatible with Fortrex/FC (2008–present) and Maxxum/FC (2011–present).
• Exact-fit parts for the common yellow-arrow indicator configuration.
• Replaces factory numbers 2280202 and 2282500 among the included components.

Who is this for: anglers, guides, and boat owners who want to repair a failing foot control without replacing the whole trolling motor will benefit most. If your Fortrex or Maxxum foot control shows indicator failure, water damage, or broken housing, this Toolixor kit supplies OEM-equivalent parts to restore function, extend service life, and save money over motor replacement. Ideal for anyone comfortable with basic mechanical repairs who wants a complete, plug-and-play parts set with the screws and assemblies needed to finish the job in one visit.
