HELP i need trolling motor help (motorguide)

[bob o]

last weekend my gator mount broke and i need a new mount. i got a replacement from an on line auction site but it's a "big water model" 60" way too big for my motor. so if i want a trolling motor for the mad wags LSC members tourny i'll need a little help. I have asked a couple of guys i know "yes they are members here" but i figure the more leads the better. So i need to either borrow or buy gater mount or even a whole trolling motor by May 9th so i don't have to drift around, hmmm i guess drifting with the wind might not be so bad.

Off topic a bit but how did it break?  I just installed one on my boat.  Will be nice to know what to look for if/when it breaks.  Thanks Bob

it was working great at one spot then we moved down to the mile roads (bad idea) it would not deploy all the way down. it looked like the mount was twisted but it turned out to be one of the hinge pins broke on the left side of the mount. i strap my TM down with two straps so it dosn't bounce but we did take a few big waves nothing over the bow big but it was a fun ride.

Wonderland marina sells parts  to repair all sorts of t-motors. My mount broke and I repaired it myself.

You should be able to purchase parts to fix it.

I do know of a year old 72lb tour for sale in the Saginaw area if there is interest.

my buddy Don Laport found one for me, i'll mount it this week and take the broken one in for repair. thanks everyone for digging thru ol fishing stuff and or dusting the like new mounts for me to use or buy. fishing friends on web sites such as this one and even on (and i know a few of you don't go there) Facebook are a great people to know and be friends with. i know now to go to an on line auction as a last resort to source last minunite broken boat stuff. Oh by the way i now have a Big Water 60" gator mount if anybody needs one
