It's probibly the switch. I had a minnkota with a faulty switch. I wasn't hard to replace , but cost 35$ about ten years ago. To check it, take the top screws off of the head and look to see if the switch looks melted. Forgotto ask- is it a hand control or foot control? Obviously the switch then would be in the foot control.

Hope it's not remote control, or hope that it is still in warranty.

guess i need to find a friend with a pedal control to test it

turn it over and beat on it, all it takes is a speck of dirt in the switch and it will make it stay running. My tarova will not fit on your V-2.

Jason, I have a Minn Kota foot pedal you can have if it fits your model of motor. I've always used the copilot.
