Do any of you guys know where i can find a new pull cord for my fortrex? Mine is wearing and needs replaced

I see TW has them but it doest say it fits fortrex or any model for that matter.

Also howbad are they to replace?

Tks

The ones on TW will fit them. Make sure you know 100% the path of the cord before you remove the old one (pictures are a good idea). I put the cable version on mine so I don't have to worry about replacing it again. 

Pretty straight forward to replace. Just note how the old one runs and put on a new one. Any on the market should fit, even the cheap ones at Walmart. When it warms up enough that I can work out in the garage I'll be putting a cable one on my MotorGuide. 

Cool tks!!!

.yeah im not workin on my boat in single digit temps lolol.

You can order them directly from Minn Kota - service@minnkotamotors.com or (800) 227-6433 Monday through Friday 7:00 am to 4:30 pm Central Time.

I went to Lowes and for about $6 bought a length of covered cable and a crimp end and just reused the plastic handle that was on my worn rope that came with my Fortrex 112.   Works great doubt it will ever break.

This does work great BUT, the dang 'crimp' connectors came off twice on me, so I simply tied a knot in the end of the wire cable and pulled it really, really tight to make the knot fit up in the slot of my existing handle, problem solved. No more problems.

Man, having a TM pull cord come untied or break is NOT a pleasant exerpience.

I pulled on my MK, I guess a little too hard, ended up in the passenger seat and floor! Sure am glad I did not have a 2nd console or I would have ended up in the lake for sure !!! LOL ... Real not very funny experience.

Side note: that is exactly the moment I discovered : You know I NEED a boarding ladder !!
