Better read up on the Varimax... That's a common problem. Stuck in wide open. I have one sitting in my shop for 2 years. Used it twice & crapped out. They are junk!!!! Take it back if you just bought it!

Lets us know what you find out please. They had a recall but I didn't know anything about it & it's been 2 years at least since I bought it. I'd like to at least get it fixed to have as a spare. The durn thing is practically brand new

I had to buy a new control board a few years ago. I searched on the net and saved 25+% [plus travel cost] over buying it from Jennings (?). No one in Lake Charles had the part in stock.
Take the cover off your TM and you should see a part no. on the board.

I bought a new control board from Lake Charles Tackle. And for the record I hated my Motor Guide.

Telling you I bought the part for my motor guide at LCT. It was the board with the part that turns for speed. Was like $50 or less.

Call Craig Doyle @ 529-0333. He repairs them and might have the part in stock. He's located off of Lake St south of town.

Was told by two different places and read online that u have to replace the whole head. And its a new part number bc there was an apparent problem with the original. Found it online for 91bux shipped from boats.net

That is correct, that's why I wanted to see what you found out. I want to know if they fixed the problem before I go buy another head.

I'm sorry I just checked, mine was NOT a Varimax. Mine was a more basic one I guess.

Yes seems like they have fixed the problem. But this issue was my fault. boats.net has em for 91bux shipped.

That's what I have and so far I like it. I was never a fan of motorguide but like I said so far so good.
