I’m in DC too. When I had trouble with my little Minn Kota, I took it to Rock Outdoors, or whatever it is called on Hwy 8. Dropped it on the way to the lake, then picked it up on another trip. They were an authorized dealer and mine was a warranty repair. So I can’t speak about there prices or if they are the same for Motor Guide.
Good luck.
