My 3 batteries only lasted 4 hrs today pulling cranks and I kept getting an electrical short smell when we were heading into the wind. When I got home, I removed my prop to check for fishing line and there wasn't any. I turned on the trolling motor and there's a knock in my motor. Not good news.
when my powerdrive had a knock ,it was a broken magnet in the lower unit
Thanks, can something like that be fixed or am I looking at a $1500 boat anchor?Quote:

Mine did it last year. Water got in the housing and magnets broke loose. Twice. First time they replaced the magnets. Second time they noticed the water and replaced the housing/motor/shaft assembly. That sounds expensive.
If it does have water in it, I would argue that it's a known defect.
Where is Jones' place located. EZ and DD recommended a guy memes Art somewhere around Jackson.Quote:

Texarkana.. I'd give em a call and see what they think, I know sseveral people that have had great dealings with them as well as myself.. Hopefully you get MK to take care of it
sorry to hear about your trolly trouble scott. for that kinda money those kotas ought to have at least a 5 yr. warranty.nobody seems to want to stand behind their products anymore.hope you can get it fixed under factory defect.:banghead:popcorn
Art on Ridgeland
Art can work Magic on them for sure. Least yours turns on. Mine won't even turn on when I flip it down AAHHHH
More bad news, Art is closed for vacation and won't be open until the 17th.
If u want, I can loan u a 24 volt 80# foot control I still have just for these occasions.
Call MK and see what they say!
Thanks Sat, Morris sent me a text and told me the same thing. I'll do that.Quote:
