LCT is the motor guide people. Dhp is the minn Kota people in lc. I would not go to dhp. Mine has not been the same since I brought mine there. Btw there not a sponsor. Lol. I'm just calling it like I see it.

First thing is to trace his wiring. He may have wired something backwards. Or may have the battery crossed. It should be good itf never used. My 70 had problems with the diodes. Hard to explain! But easy to fix and locate. I will message you my number if you have any questions.

I was under the impression that a Minn-Kota won't break.
