Default Trolling Motor Troubles

Hey guys.

Saturday, we are fishing in the wind, get to the other side of this 80-acre (small, but good fishing) lake and my troller quits on me. I was in a 14 foot johnboat with a MinnKota 40lbs thrust motor.

Got home, after much paddling, and took it apart. What I would call brushes on the interior part towards the nose past the spindle, look to be worn out.

Anybody know where I can order some more, or is it DOA?


Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

I'd contact MinnKota and see if they can help you. First, though, I'd put it back together and see if you have an inline fuse and see if it might have blown-had that happen to me back in April.
