Minn Kota All Terrain 40 Foot Controlled

My MK has developed the habit of slipping at the top of the shaft in the head.  Just a little to much pressure on the pedal will cause it to slip, then you must baby it to get it to grab again.

Upon investigation....I find that socket or shaft, one or the other is stripped.

Apparently in this area...

Under warranty, but apparently a very long line....Still works, but is getting worse.

Anybody played this game?

Thanks!   :

I had something similar happen but I fixed it myself.  It is very easy to take apart not much to them at all.  Not sure exactly your cause though but mine did something like that and come to find out a screw came loose and it droped down from the head a little bit and the bearing got a little cocked in there.  Just put everything back together and tightened it all down.  

Is it possibly the cable lose and slipping.  I had mine tightened up and there is a world of difference.  If it is the gears, I would recommend bitting the bullet and waiting in line.

Definately not the gears or cable.

Everything work great until the pinion in the head doesn't bite and spins withing the shaft.

I can actually remedy it slightly by sliding the pulley gromit up on the pinion...this pulling the pinion to an angle making it bit better.  

Thinking of upgrading anyways.  Will look around.

Thanks for the tips!
