My 2 year old MinnKota 55lb thrust bow mount trolling motor died on me this week. First the foot pedal couldn't control the speed. If you turned it on it would run under just one speed setting and there was nothing you could do to adjust it. Bought a new foot pedal to try it out and still same problem.
I just dealt with it.. until recently it died after 10 minutes on the lake. It clicks when powered on but doesn't turn. Does anyone know where I can take it in to fix or am I better off getting a new one? Not looking forward to it because they aren't cheap. I'm in St. Paul. Thanks!
Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe. I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho. Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.
The water looked and smelled disgusting with hundreds of thousands of birds sh*tting in there. About as gross as the Salton Sea. When I duck hunted there I didn't even want to touch the water.
It's kinda gross with the algae in the summer but I got in it anyway. Wanted to see the increased bouyancy at work. You can kinda tuck yourself into a ball and you'll just float with your head above water. When dry off you look diamond encrusted with the salt.
We went to the flats too. I dipped a tire on the rental car onto it just to say I’ve been there,but it was still pretty soft from winter melt. After seeing some moron in a BMW suv get dragged out of the muck I had no intention of repeating his stupidity.
