Great trolling motor!

This is a great trolling motor by any measure! I love the continuous movement back and forth. I can really slow down when I have to, or go flat out when I have to. I have this motor on a 15ft Duracraft with a 15hp Evinrude motor. and reverse moves (especially around docks and bridges where I catch crappie) and this thing is excellent. It has excellent battery usage and no problems so far after 1/2 year of use. I bought this to replace a failed attempt to save money by buying a different brand (Newport Vessels) trolling motor that literally burned out after two uses! MK deserves your attention. The only possible downside is the overall reverse power, which isn't as strong as one would think given how fast full forward power is. . When I pulled it out of the garage earlier this month and put it back on my boat, it didn't work. Not forward or backward at all. I thought it might be my battery but I have a new deep cycle interstate that was fully charged. After I plugged the main power cable into the head it worked as usual so I figured it must have been a bad connection. So yesterday I took it to the lake and after about 20 minutes of normal good work it stopped working. Twisting the wires didn't help! So now I'll see if the Minn-Kota is still under its 2 year warranty when I take it to the service center today. I emailed Minn-Kota earlier in the week and received no response. I'll update this post with the results later!
