Trolling Motor Repair

[Frank Buck]

I have a 2-day family fishing trip scheduled over the holiday with the only caveat being....My Minn Kota riptide (2.5 yrs old) lower unit is fried....I tore it down and listed the parts out that I needed and ordered from Boris Marine Electronics....Parts should be in today, but if she don't work....Our trip is done....Got my fingers and toes crossed...The only thing I am not replacing is the speed control that is sealed in the lower unit housing....I'm pretty certain it is not damaged, but now I am getting down to the wire waiting on these parts....I'm getting nervous....I bought a riptide saltwater series to avoid issues of this nature, but I guess I got a lemon...I will say that minn kota makes it pretty easy to find exploded views and parts though...
