Well seems that after 4 years it's time to replace the trolling motor
battery. It's been abused. Dunked in ten feet of water, left out all
winter( I thought it was in the shed). It's time here has expired. On
full
charge I get about 3 good hours out of it. I use to be able to make two
morning trips without any loss of power, after 2 + hours this morning I
was
trolling back very slowly. I use a 48 pound thrust Minn Kota for the 12
foot
Rubber Lipped Mudsucker TOO. Any suggestions on getting a replacement?

I have had very good luck with Trojan Group 27 batteries. Not the
cheapest,
and not the most expensive. A lot of the guys around here are running the
next larger size (group 31?) and they claim to be able to run hard for two
full days in a row without a recharge.


I also need to find a place that sells replacement parts for Minn Kota
trolling motors. I definetly want a replacement prop pin as snapping off
the
last one really sucked. I would like to just be able to replace the pin
should it happen again. There are a few other things I would like to get
as
well. Any Ideas?

Tell them Dave Willhide sent you. LOL. They are one of his sponsors. I
have called them for parts in the past and even when I gave them the wrong
info they were able to question me and get the information to get me the
right parts. They know their stuff really well.

P.S. I always carry spare prop pins in my boat for my TMs. Good idea.
