2002 tour

(1/1)

fishon-son:
I have a 2002 tour 68lb thrust ..took it off the boat in 2003..stop working...it was on a deep v lowe r190  rigged by cabalas..it has the big game mount...anyway I'm no electric guy. but heard that they had a card issue with these and that's way there digital now? is this true? and if so where can I get a new card it looks brand new sitting in its box and in the basement....id like to fix it and sell it...any help.....

Jig Man:
I believe the card you are talking about is the "mother board".  It costs about 400 bones to change a Tmotor to digital.

Curt:
I'm not a Motor Guide guy, so I can't offer much help with this one. But with the motor being as old as it is, my guess is that it would be money better spent to buy a new one. But that's just my own opinion and it might be worth looking into the actual cost.

Try checking www.trollingmotordoctor.com The owner is very knowledgable and if you buy parts from him, he's more than willing to help you when it comes to answering tech questions a or walking you through installation of parts.

Glad you mentioned that you're a Minn Kota guy  (yes)

I also prefer Minn Kota. I have had both brands and, in my opinion, MG can't even come close to what MK offers for durability and reliability.

Try listing it on eBay. Trolling Motors usually fetch a premium price on there for some reason. Worth a shot  (hmm)
