Re: DIY shaft replacement on a Minnkota

Hitman, to remove the shaft from the motor, you need to heat the area where the shaft goes into the motor (it is glued in with loctite) be careful not to get it to hot because you can melt the composite shaft and melt the threads inside the housing. You will need a pipe wrench or a special clamp to ...

Re: rain on my trolling motor, wont turn off

Green weenie
After you dry the switch or replace it, then when you go out to fish, and it starts to rain, put a plastic bag or shower cap over the foot pedal, this will prevent water getting into the switch.

Minn Kota makes a 72 inch shaft on the Maxxum 101, or you can put it on other models, also the power drive models have 70 inch shafts. They are a little harder to raise and to put down.
