I have a old motor guide brute on my boat. I can't find a model number anywhere. The previous owner put a new top on the trolling motor but left out the gear to turn the arrow. Where can you find parts for these old motors? Every web site I go to does not list the brute only the newer stuff. I need to upgrade but buying a house has put it on the back burner.

There's a trolling motor repair place in Tarrant, or at least I think there is. I'd bet you could get one from them. Maybe somebody will know the name of the place that I'm talking about.

This. He is good and fast turn around

Hrs helped me out several times. Even stopped by the office and wired up my trolling motor

Replace that sucka with a Minnkota. i've owned them all (Silvertroll, Shakespeare, RAM, Motorgude and Minnkota), now minnkota is the best going. I loved my first 24 motor, it was a Silvertroll, It could be a hand or foot controled motor. They were owned by a big Corp. It went bankrupt and took them with it.Ram was owned by Mr Twister and was a pretty good 24. Shakespear was one of the first with a 24.

Minnkota!!!!....doesnt know the meaning of quit!

I hear ya on the new home purchase and low funds. Thats my situation rite now. But when you get a chance....buy you a minnkota.

I think I’m gonna start selling pot to subsidize by fishing habit. You might consider that. You could upgrade your TM if you do.

I told you fur, I'd be happy to bid on your liver and lungs!

You’re right. Oil, gas, a bag of ice, crickets and a Coke were about $30 for me this morning. That’s just 6 gallons of gas.

I have a brute on my boat too. I was able to order parts online for it. I just googled Motorguide Brute 67. If I remember correctly the parts came from iBoats

Maybe boats.com

I'm definitely going minkota asap. Will probably be a fortrex even though I really want a ultrex. Thanks guys I'll call around Monday to these places. I found one on trolling motor parts.com but it doesn't say it will work on brute.

DN, the only thing that I missed about Motorguides is the weight difference. The Minnkota are so much heavier. When fishing and moving a lot it can wear you out. Yes, they are spring loaded, but it;'s still heavier than any Motorguide I ever had. Funny, I never had a motor go down. I loved having 36 volt motors too. I never got hung up on a sand bar or stump with the 36. It is a pain keeping 4 batteries up tho. Keeping 3 is bad enough. (crank, 2 toling) I had 24 volt Minnkota. It had plenty of power and that ended my 36 volt days.
overall, I had fewer problems with the Minnkota. it seemed after the MG got several years o,d I was always having switch or other electronics problems. One word of advice, don't cut corners, even if you have to save a little longer. Gette one you want. If you don't , most likely you'll have regrets and end up with what you want later. After you end up losing money getting rid of the first one. I speak from experience. I can't list the times I've gone thru this.

On another note, have you seen that Kayak idot pushing a $1000 tolling motor battery on youtube? He's fishing out of a kayak that cost less than that..
It kills me to see guys thee fishing out of a cheap kayak and they have 3 or more GoPros worth probably $500 ea, The kayak is keeping you alive! DUH!

You can be my Guntersville dealer.

Post an ad in the Gleem, we'll have them lined up around the corner.

Tri-state has always found what I needed. They may not have it in stock but if there is one available they'll find it.

The minnkotas now are lighter deploying and pulling back up and you aint even got to step on them like those dang motor guides. Bar none minn kota has been and is a way better unit. No issues at all for me since I made the switch 6 yrs ago

I don’t know how hard my MK would be to raise or lower. It does that for me.

I want one of those...I like the remote self deploy feature. Makes launching buy yourself much easier. Just be sure to turn it on!
