    Any ideas how to fix it??? Turns out the belt didnt officially break. It just pulled out of the head of the motor. I put it back but..... Trolling motor still will not go up and down. I think where the belt is also caught up inside the motor part that fits around the shaft of the trolling motor. But i aint tearing into that hahaha. The parts list looks like it gets very complicated there. Talked to a certified minn kota mechanic and he said to bring it on in but.... Also said he hasnt laid eyes on one of these trolling motors yet. I really do not know which direction to go. I feel like this is gonna cost me and arm and a leg AND even worse loose a month worth fishing time. I was gonna take family to table rock lake on wednesday for 7 days to fish. Those plans just got canceled. Looks like silver dollar city here we come. I will drop my boat off on the way there i guess. Any help would be much appreciated!

    If you talked to Gary at N. I. F. E. Marine he's good and will get right on it. Should be a warranty item I would think. Shouldn't cost you anything. Giving him a mess of crappie might help too.

    I called Mr. Gary at N.I.F.E. marine. He was a super nice guy, but regretted to inform me that he had no experience with Ulterras. That was an admirablel thing to do on the front end. He sounds like a great guy. He did refer me to Wayne in Pine Bluff. Small world. I am taking my boat to Mr. Wayne on thursday. He said no promises but he would give it heck! Thanx guys for the help. I had no Idea where to turn when disaster struck. Great family here on crappie.com!
