Trolling Motor Help

[antgogz]

I purchased a 45 lb thrust minn kota trolling motor two summers ago. I am not going to lie but I beat it up going through tons of weeds looking for big fish. The pin inside the propeller broke and the handle works but it slides out if I pull it. Does anybody know a place who fixes trolling motors?

My handle does the same. Never fixed it just got use to it. Broke the center pin twice, lol. Found replacements at the local hardware store. Just tap out the old and tap in the new. Just make sure you get the right size or it may break again easier.........

Franks tackle in wanaque. I had a broken handle on my 45 last year.

Wal mart carries the pins and extra props.. had the same thing happen to me. I may have the handle part confused but mine slides out also and it's supposed to.

You just need to get the shear pin assembly. It's very easy to fix. I had the same thing happen to mine last year and bought the part for a few bucks and fixed it in LT 5 minutes. As someone else mentioned, Franks in Wanaque sells the parts. That's where I got mine. Make sure you have the model of your motor though. WalMart may have them but probably only for models they sell.
