Damaged my trolling motor, a Minn Kota PowerDrive V2 Autopilot, 70lb thrust, 60 inch shaft, with Copilot.

BJ Marine quoted 1-2 weeks for turnaround and then additional time for parts lead time. So I called A20, 2005 Charlestown New Albany Road, Jeffersonville, IN. They are also a Minn Kota Repair Center. They quoted me 3-5 day turn around, so I took it up to them this passed Monday morning. The staff was courteous and cheerful and they listened in detail to my concerns and what happened. Today they called and the trolling motor was done and ready for pickup. Total was about $150 for new brushes, new brush plate, new front bearing, and a new armature, and all new motor seals. Brought the motor home and hooked it up and it runs quieter and smoother now then it did when new.

Hats off to A20 for a fast and excellent repair and what I thought was a resaonabe price. I've checked the parts on the internet at several sites, and found that the total for parts was less for each than any I found on line. When I talked to the tech that did the repairs, he told me they didn't have to order any parts, because they carry most that are needed on most of the more common models.

A20, thanks again!
