    Default WTB Trolling plate and drift sock


    Well my ipilot went out this weekend. They are looking at it now, but said I would probably need a new mother board. It is like 12 weeks to get in parts from Minn Kota right now according to them so I am probably without a trolling motor for the fall crappie season. I thought I would try to improvise. Looking for a Easy Troller trolling plate. They are the ones that hinge in the middle. I have used them on almost every boat I have had and like them. I am also going to need a drift sock or two to get to .9 to 1 mph for jigs so let me know what you have.

    Give Northland Marine at try for the board. Shouldn't take 12 weeks.

    I rebuilt my parents Ulterra in May, new control board and new trim motor. It costed me less than $600 to fix it and Centerpoint Marine in Georgtown, Ga. (Minn Kota certified service) wanted $1200 to fix it. I called Minn Kota service and they walked me through every step.

    Thanks guys. Wasn't the motherboard. One of my two batteries had reversed polarity, but no one knows why or what caused it. I have not changed anything since I put in the batteries 4 months ago. Been fishing probably 15 times with not problems.
