Slam,Shermerhorns (sp) up by Alex Bay, United In Utica, and supposedly a guy in Oswego (don't know shops name) all service Minn Kota. To tell you the truth, Minn Kota's are real easy to work on yourself, parts are easy to get, and customer service is great. I have owned both Minn Kotas and a lot of Motor Guides, I will never go back to the Motor Guides.
Thanks man, I ended up fixing it myself and it actually works. I got out yesterday and started on the walleye, got my limit in about 45 minutes then switched to the bass and had an absolute blast. I won't put a number on here because I don't know if anybody would believe it but lets just says my arms are sore. First time out in a while and it was nice to get into them like that.
For anyone interested, the huge white bass (not white perch) are stacked up under the Rt.81 bridge near the Castaways restaurant. We got our fill this morning . 31.5 lbs of beautiful firm fillets was the total tally. They're big fish ! Most in the 14 to 17 inch range !
Fished with a buddy of mine this morning from 7:00 to 11:00 just east of Billington in 18-25 fow. Caught 4 in the first hour, but it took a couple more hours to get out limit. Picked up a bass, sunfish and a couple of drum. A bit rough out there, but we had fun. All fish caught on jig and minnow. Fished a sonar for the last 1/2 hour with no success..... again. Not for the lack of effort though!
Nice, what were you throwing?
