Does anyone know anyone that works on trolling motors? I've got a terrova that has quit turning. I had the main control board replaced and everything else inside seems to be fine except it just won't turn but does run the prop fine. Just wandering if anyone knew of anyone before I have to buy another TM. :scratchhead
Where are you located? There may be a factory authorized service center in your area. We (Hendersonville, TN) have one here and there is another in White Bluff, TN.
The only one I know of is just outside of Lexington, and picks them up at Backwaters Outfitters in Lexington. A long time friend, Dave Smoot, is a licensed repairman that's well known around this area.

If that's too far for you ... contact Minn-Kota and ask them where the closest licensed repair shop to you is located. I'm assuming it's out of warranty, but if not ... then you definitely want a licensed person doing the work !!

Im about 70 miles south of Lexington but Ill give him a call. Will definitely by worth it too get it fixed. Thanks for the info Pappy.
I would take the cover off where your cable goes in the trolling motor, the cable has probably slipped back.U may have to loosen about 4 screws to move cable forward it may save u along drive. It happened to me,that was the problem. Good luck.
That is the guy I was about to mention - took care of a problem I had with mine a year so back and did a great job. And bonus, if you are south (depending one where you are coming from) he is on the south side of Lexington as well.

Terrova don't have steering g cables. They are electronic. I would think the steering gears in the steering head are stripped. Best have Minnkota authorized shop look at it.
If you do have to replace it, contact me. I have a Terrova listed in the classified ads here.
