Minn Kota All Terrain won’t turn

[rscott]

Hey all,

Looking for suggestions. Older Minn Kota All Terrain cable style foot controlled trolling motor won’t turn. It started by not turning much, and now it won’t turn at all. I’ve checked the cables and they are attached and free. The foot pedal appears to be able to move freely when disconnected.

From what I can tell it’s in the shaft. Is it worth trying to fix or should I start looking for a replacement?

TIA!

Depending on what the actual problem is. I have seen them not turn because the slack was not adjusted out. Then it caused the cable to jump off rollers. Fix was as simple as putting cable back in correctly and adjusting it. It could be a very cheap fix.
