Looking for a minnkota repair facility

Post by M.T. Livewell »

Well, when the battery died at Quinte, I got PO'd and kicked the closest thing to me, which happened to be the minnkota trolling pedal. Well, turns out I may have tweaked it just a little :oops: . (gotta remember to kick stuff that is not 10 more expensive to replace than the original problem :roll: ).

Anyway, does anyone know of a Minnkota repair/ service facility nearby in Ottawa. Looks like I'm gonna need this TM pedal "reconditioned".

Thanks
M.T. Livewell

There is a place in Black Burn Hamelet but I can't remeber the name of it. :oops: G&G Lalonde recommended them to me so if you call G&G they can give you the name of the place and their number.

These guys do a great job and are fast as well. I wish they were there last year, thanks to them my trolling motor has been working fine this year.

Hey M.T. If they can't fix it or don't have the right parts, there is an authorized Minn Kota repair center in Kingston (there are only 2 in Ontario). It is called the Prop Shop. If you need a number let me know.

Minkota Repair Shop

Post by Tonyb »

There is an official Minkota repair shop in Gatineau. I had to go there and found it by looking on the minkota warranty for repair centres. Had good service, pleased with the results.

Good luck,
Tony

I would recommend staying away from the shop in Gatineau, had to deal with them a couple times and was not impressed to say the least :evil:

My motor wouldn't turn left, just dirt/sludge in the pedal which gums up the works :wink: Pop it open give'r a good cleaning and see what happens.
