Looking for Minkota help

[skinny]

I have a minkota power drive V2 that was giving me trouble until today

it seems it’s the control board (one under the battery test)

my trolling motor became intermittent on the drive part not steering

I had thought it was bad connection I pinched things and put back together it had worked for 3 fishing trips until today it started fine but then was acting up I pulled covers messed with connections and it kind worked a bit then I got the smell of electronics burning

yes I let the magic green smoke out of the electronic board

so now looking

anyone with a basket case or spare parts or a suggestion on where to get from

A aikmans is a minkota repair and warranty shop

With all the electric motors now being used, it sure would be nice to have an authorized service technician in the area?
Having to drive to GTA or Orillia just to have our Minn Kotas looked at is a hassle.

100 percent agree with that @moocow that hour and half drive sure does suck .

Every time I fish Erie that is what takes place. 1 and a 1/2 down, same back.

Part of the deal.
