Yes, there is a way to tighten the sliding extension on the Minn Kota Traxxis 80 handle. Here are the steps to follow:

  1. Locate the set screw: Look for a small set screw on the side of the handle where the sliding extension meets the stationary part of the handle. This screw is typically located on the underside of the handle and may require a small tool to access.
  2. Tighten the set screw: Using the appropriate tool, tighten the set screw by turning it clockwise. This will secure the sliding extension in place.
  3. Test the handle: After tightening the set screw, test the handle to make sure it is secure and does not slide freely. If necessary, adjust the set screw again until the handle is secure.
  4. Reassemble the handle: Once the sliding extension is tightened, reassemble the handle by replacing any covers or trim pieces that were removed to access the set screw.
Remember to use caution when working with small screws and tools, and to follow any safety guidelines provided by the manufacturer.

SOURCE: i have a minn kota deckhand 35 that wont wind up.

Solution- Take the cover off the Deckhand 35 by Minn Kota. Inside is a motor drive. Remove the cover plate held in place with 4 screws. inside are nylon gears, most likely broken. The gears can be replaced with a Minn-Kota Deckhand Gear Repair Kit.
I found mine on the web at Northland Marine.com it's about $24.00 for the kit, plus shipping.
Good Luck!

SOURCE: how do i extend my battery cable on my minn kota

You can purchase a battery extender cable. Depending on how far you need to go, you can buy them in various lengths. I've done the same and bought a 15' extension (always buy a few more feet than you think you need). Many places carry this. I bought mine at BassProShops for $25.00 and it comes with fuses which help to make sure you never fry your motor or battery!

SOURCE: my minn kota riptide 55 stopped working when i

Hi!
To start with, here's a schematic:
RT55 Hand Control
Sounds like key# 87 broke....seen it before.
To replace it, remove top cover, then remove the handle portion by removing the 5 screws underneath. There are a few peices in there, so keep close watch. Also be careful of the fine ribbon wire attaching the handle to the control board...it's pretty fragile.
Best of luck!
Mike

Minn Kota Traxxis 80 Transom Mount Trolling Motor 80lb that squalled bad in reverse and dealer replaced lower unit it still squalls at half speed in reverse. Any ideas motor is just over a year old.

Question edited, removed 'Minnetonka', for the correct maker name. :>D
Question moved to a Minn Kota category from Health and Fitness.

If the repair was done under warranty, then that repair is still under warranty as it wasn't fixed.

If you want to do it yourself, you would have to strip to find where the noise comes from and then rebuild with plenty of Lithium Grease.

not battery problem the brushes and or the bearings in motor or shaft are heating up and binding you can try lubing the bearings on unit so that their not dry as to the brushes if worn down an are heating up they would need to be replaced ---also check prop that no ebris is around shaft or behind the drop causing a drag

FISH307 com Fishing Tackle Superstore
This is a link that will allow you to look at a schematic for you motor.
Minn Kota hand control motors have a small nut/bolt thru the motor shift aligning the handle with the lower unit. If yours does not line up your either missino this bolt or a previous owner altered the motor.
Hope this helps.

Minnkota Traxxis Model 1368716 will run in reverse only and not forward

it could be the coil pack in the nose cone of the trolling motor which is not serviceable but can be replaced at a reasonable cost. it could also be the switch in the handle but it seems less likely. there is a test protocol to follow if you know how to use a volt/ohm meter. call the 800 number on your motor and have the tech send or email you the testing proceedure. they are very helpful and can give you the prices on the parts you need. good luck.

Removing Prop

There should be a retainer nut accessible at the rear of the prop (in the center of the prop. Remove this and the prop should slide off.
