mark twain....and minn kota

[DinkMaster]

mark twain has been slow for me.....small, small,small....myminn kota is shot. and it doesnt sound like they r going to do anything to fix it. its a shame somthing that costs so much cant last a single year. it is a minn kota all terrain, i wouldnt recommend buying one.

[DinkMaster]

im going to be buying a new one......i know its a shame, but the way to buy stuff these days is at wal mart......they always take there stuff back...i hate to do it though......any suggestions ?

Hey DinkMaster, i don't know where your located but if your close to St.Louis try www.tristatetrollingmotor.com I have'nt needed their help in quite awhile, but they fixed me up a couple times. If your Minn-Kota's warranty is'nt up, they're an authorized repair shop also. They usually have some rebuilt ones on hand to that they sell and warranty themselve's. As i said it's been quite awhile since i've been there, but they treated me right...izzy

What is the trouble?
Loud ?bent armature?
I just replaced my armature and bushings for $70 easy to do.
I will look the place up tomorrow it is in Springfield, MO cheapest place I could find the parts.

Only a year old??? It's still under warranty, I believe. Take it to a warranty repair shop,,,they will let you know. Be sure and bring your reciept! When and where you bought it will help you! <*)}}}><

On there web site most all have at least a two year warranty.
It is no clear what it covers.

I have owned 2 minn kota and loved them. I did have a control board go out, there customer service is great. I had to take mine to a service center down by Camdenton. I waited as he fixed the problem was there maybe a hour. As Chatt said you need the receipt so they can prove the warranty. I believe there warranty covers everything on there units. Here are the places that might be close to you.
