Foil Drive Assist Plus Electronics Replacement

Build, Repair & Mod
1

Apologies first for my limited research, and being new, but there is a lot to take in.

My question is simply if it is easy for someone to link the parts and guides on replacing the electronics in my gen 1 Assist Plus for me to replace, as they are deteriorating and I’m losing faith to go too far out on the water.

I would rate myself as capable, but not experienced with what is required.

I have contacted FD and waiting for a reply, but would expect an expensive repair and it would be nice to have the option to do it myself other than just selling for parts.

Could selling the Assist Plus here be an option for someone to repair it for themselves?

Thanks for any replies.

Just got my Assist Plus repaired by FoilDrive. Cost only $80 to replace damaged cable and resolder connections to the electronics. I would give them a go before you try anything else. Their tech support has always been super helpful and they go out of their way to support their product.

Thanks for the reply.

It took them weeks to get back to me, and didn’t read my email based on the response. However, most people get good service, which reflects well on them.

The electronics are toast, and I have ordered the parts to replace them. I’m hoping it will be a positive pathway to making my own assists in the future.
