and he said it sounded like the control panel. That's about $100 plus labor. guessing about 200 total then. Taking it in the morning

What are you talking about?
Huh????
On the terrova. At Sardis when I'd hit the co pilot to turn right, it would speed up. I FINALLY got it turned off and finished the day out pulling with the big motor and Trolling plate. I thought it may have been the battery in my co pilot so I replaced it. I lowered the motor down in the back yard and turned it on. It came on fine but when I tried to turn right or left or spped it up, It wouldn't do anything. then POOF, I heard a singeing sound and a puff of smoke came out of the base
Smoke ain't good
That sounds like warranty work.
hmmmmmm that don't sound good
What warranty? Got it from Brad Taylor used. Art did say it sounds like the control panel so that was one of the cheaper things that could have happened. Taking it to his shop in the morning
He's a good guy, will treat you right.
Oh I know. I had my last one in his shop a time or two
It's never good to let the smoke leak out of an electric motor.
Why ya wanna buy used stuff? In the boating werld that equals somebody's junk more times than not.
it took Art 2 trips to finally get all the duct tape off his old one
Smoke is supposed to stay on the inside.

That's what I told him, Minneer.
Yea, it's easy to let out, but it's hard as hell to get it back in. Just sayin.Quote:

NO ES, I ain't listening to you on Lektronics. I got a good deal on the TM and have NEVER had bad luck when buying something used. Think it may have been teh salkt water on everything. That's when my problems started. I WILL make sure everything is sealed real good for my next trip
Ok then try touching the red and blue together
Look youngun, I done tolt you I ain't listening to you on Boat matters. BTW, Where's you twin brother been this week. School?
You do know that the white TM's that MK makes are the ones for salt water....they are sealed differentlyQuote:
