    Minn Kota Fortrex - Head (cover) broke

    The head broke on my Fortrex, right around the screw at the shaft. I now have no steering, so I assume a cable jumped off.

    Is this something I should try and tackle, or take to a local shop? Thanks

    First pop the screws out of the bottom of the head. See what exactly happened. Should be an easy do it yourself fix. Get the parts from John Jones.

    The lower control box breaker will cause slack in the steering so it doesn't work. Take the top cover off and figure parts you need, then give us a call.
