    Minn Kota Bow Mount Stopped Working.....need help!

    I have an Endura C2 55lb thrust that just stopped working. One day I used it and it was fine. Couple weeks later I got on the lake and nothing. Any idea what this could be and where I should start poking around to repair it?

    First thing is to check the battery and breaker/fuse to see if you are getting power up to the connector.
    If you have integrity, nothing else matters. If you don't have integrity,
    nothing else matters.​

    Thank you. If the fuse is good, I will check the on/off switch. I am also having issues with the first three speeds not producing much thrust at all.

    Ok, used it one day and it quit working --- having issues with not much speed on first three. I'm assuming this was before it quit. I'm guess it's go burnt connections and a bad speed coil. On a C2 55, cost to repair will probably be close to 1/2 the price of a new motor if that is the problem.

    Thanks John. Correct...weak on 1-3 was before it quit. Is the speed coil a "do it yourself" type of repair?

    The speed coil is located in the "bullet" end of the lower unit. You will need it, a shaft, and a seal kit. You need to open it and see if it has water in it and possibly brushes.
