Trolling motor problems!
Having an issue with my trolling motor. I have the Minn Kota Edge for little over a year now and when I twist the tiller it sometimes won't kick in to gear. Could this be a loose connection in the head? Anyone have any advise on how to repair it myself?

My old Minn Kota did the same thing and it was due to wire connection in head. I pulled the head off and took small stainless screws and put them in the small hole on blade connectors and no more loose connection.

Either a bad connection or the switch on the handle is going out....a new one will set you back about 25 bucks.

I figured someone would have something to say about the brand. Good deal, I'll take a look at it and see if I can get it before I make a trip to Henderson this saturday. Thanks for the info.

I have owned two MK...a
70# & currently a 80#... zero issues with either one... |

I had a Minn Kota 70# until it threw me off the boat in 40 dogree water and sent the boat across the bayou.

I have had both, Motor Guides growing up and on first couple of boats, Minn Kota's on last two rigs... Never really had problems with either...
Maybe just lucky, but I always keep everything sprayed down real good with WD or equivalent... I did allot of research on the one I have now, the internet is a great tool !!! Hydro |

The real truth is he don't like the color of the tm. That reminds me of a girl and her shoes and he's only increasing by 8lbs of thrust.

call it what you want, I like my stuff to look right and that means I don't want a white saltwater T/M on a bass boat and yes I want 8lb more T/M on it. Maybe you should buy it and stick it next to your Merc so you can get back to the dock

My merc runs, it just doesn't run right. So you are saying that the other bass boats with white tm doesn't look right. I find that very offensive and want this thread pulled.

like I said earlier, I like my stuff to look right so call it what you want and yes I find you offensive to look at
