Trolling Motor Repair

Tim L just posted on this, no replies.
Im not in the market for a new trolling motor right now, but it would be my only option if its too expensive to fix, anymore than $200.

I just picked my dads older autopilot up at his house in Bemidji. Its about a 1994 or something. He says its the head unit that went out.

I am in Hutchinson, any place to fix them or just buy a new head. How much am I looking at for a new head?
Theres a place in Mankato isn't there?

Theres a circuit board on the base($150), head ($?) and foot control($50)
Before you go buying parts tell us what its doing wrong.
The plug for the foot control to the base can be dirty also.

Mwellner, Here is the number for the manufacturer. Minnkota Operations Division of Johnson Outdoors in Mankato. 507 345 4623. Just in case you wanted to call them direct. They usually are very helpful.

I've never opened one before. See if you can isolate the motor from the wiring somewhere, use a 12VDC battery charger and see if the motor works.

Good luck.
