Trolling motor repair?

ducknfish

Tried to go fish this evening & the trip was cut short due to what seems like a short in the trolling motor. This with the redfish bite about to turn on.
Anybody know of a fast, reliable place to take a trolling motor for repair in the Tallahassee area?

Before you go, check everything. Lot's of times it is a fuse, corrosion at the battery, or a kink somewhere, or at the plug.

My past 2 problems have been plug and another time was corroded terminal at breaker. I'd get a test light and investigate before I took it off

Thanks guys.
There is no plug it's just wired straight to the batteries. I'm thinking it has a short of some kind.

My buddies is like that. Every time it is a wire or fuse. Surely you have a fuse. Shut my mouth before I get into trouble.

No trouble from me. If it were a fuse it just wouldn't be getting any power. It is getting power but the control isn't doing as it should. It wants to be in reverse on all settings. If you mess with it long enough you can usually get it into forward but if you slow it down you run the risk of spending 10 minutes trying to get it to go again.

Two thumbs up for TM Repair Center's customer service.
Dropped the motor off at lunch on Tuesday and he called an hour later to tell me what was wrong and how much it would cost to repair. He called back Wednesday @ 8AM to let me know the job was completed. He had the old parts there to show me what broke and how to avoid it in the future.
Can't say enough about the customer service.
