Wanted to let everyone who owns a Minn Kota electric motor that we now have a factory authorized repair tech in Utah again. I have listed his contact info below. I talked to him yesterday and he seemed very friendly and knowledgeable. He said he is an electrician by trade and does this on the side. I will be taking an older Terrova up to him soon that had the steering drive gears go out on it just about the time Swede retired. I've been hanging onto it since hoping something would turn up.
Chase seemed to understand the issue right away and said it was fairly common. He said it would be pretty easy for him to repair that back to new condition. He quoted me about $200 to replace the steering drive box and tear apart the lower drive unit to inspect for water damage and replace seals as preventative maint. I thought that was pretty reasonable to get a $1900 motor back up and running.
It'll be a couple weeks before I can make it up to Heber to drop it off to him. I'll report back once the transaction is complete.
