Question for Jones Trolling Motor

[Mike198P]

I have an 80 lb Fortrex that has a slightly bent shaft right at the "collar". How much would it cost to fix the shaft? It sqeaks and is fairly hard to turn.

You'll have apx $40.00 worth of parts and if I do it, an hour labor. Total around $120.00 / apx

Thanks. I will look into getting it repaired. Might have to ship it to ya!

Run it on down to him, it's only an 8 hour drive. I drove 5½ hours each way to take my Ultrex there. They've got a couple of good BBQ joints there.

Good point. After all, I have went a heck of a lot farther for a lot less!!!

Are you talking Main shaft or upper shaft? Main shaft is composite material and will have a slight bend in it when it is stored on the mount. I have never seen a composite shaft with a bend in it. the upper shaft is made of metal and it will bend if you have a hard impact.

Bradrodfish, may be my bad but when he said bent at the "collar" I assumed he was talking about the upper shaft.

This is correct.

That clears thinks up. I was totally unclear about that. Thanks for straightening me out Mike and John.
