Minn Kota woes

[Blll]

Hey guys, any one know of a decent repair place for my Maxum? I know of a good one in Springfield but would like to stay near Rogers/Bentonville or even Fayetteville. Thanks!

Told me closest was in Norman OK when my piece of junk Ulterra broke.

Pretty sure I know the problem and looked like a simple fix, but..... found the part online. $190 plus. Seems too much to spend on a 10 yr motor. My super wife agrees and said get a new one. Searching out best price today.

My super wife approved my new Powerdrive with CoPilot back in March.  The price was much more than just the trolling motor.  She wanted a shopping trip for new cute girl clothes.  The gift that keeps on giving!

I have the Fortrex 101 and have loved it since the day I got it. Not a single problem whatsoever. Doubt I'll ever go back to MotorGuide.

OK. Got the new Minn Kota Maxxum delivered today. I waited to share this info until it actually arrived. After spending a day online searching for the best price on a motor, I found them almost all priced the same, around $950 for an 80#, 52" hand controlled Maxxum. That was before any tax or shipping. So I was looking at about a grand. I went to the Bass Boat Central forum and did some digging there. I found a post where a funny sounding website was mentioned and I checked it out. Moodeals.com was the site. Motor was priced at $815 and a $35 ship charge. Total $850. I was concerned it was a scam or used motors or something bad but I took a chance. Motor arrived today (5 business days) Brand new and as ordered. Saved $150. Just wanted to share. Mounting tomorrow. GO CUBS!!
