I agree as well, they should make it right.
I would keep calling them everyday until they get tired hearing from me. Find out who the regional factory rep is, maybe he could get some action out of the factory.

don't have the reciepts. they should have a record of the work. I will get back on the phone come monday and try to get them to do something......DHP is the only one that does warranty on minn kota and they have been rubbing me the wrong way so i brought it to lake charles tackle. DHP everytime i go they aren't there and they just kept saying it was defective brushes i mean come on 3 defective ones in a row....I am far from a rocket scientist but i think there is something else wrong causing this.... I wouldn't be so mad but that is an hour from my house and it gets old everytime i go fishing it breaks and i got to make 2 more trips during the work week when i am working.

they sent me a email today this is what it said
That sure doesn't sound good, I would suggest you send it to the factory with any records of prior repairs. They will want to check it out and get back to you. 121 Power Dr Mankato , MN. 56002 Dave M. so guess i won't have a trolling motor for about 6 months

Tell them you're seeking legal help with this matter and will have your attorney contact them if the problem isn't fixed in a timely manner...

Last year I was fishing with a buddy at big lake and his minnkota had a bad connection in the trolling motor. He had just got it back from Lake Charles Tackle the week before for the same problem. He drove from Bunkie to Lake Charles the following Monday and demanded a new trolling motor as his was under warranty still and they gave him one. Be persistent and dont take no for an answer.
