Minn Kota Terrova Right Turn Noise

Featured Replies

The Terrova turning gears are making significantly more noise (grinding) when turning to the right vs turning to the left.  Left turn sound is normal (whirring sound), like when originally purchased 12 years ago.  Have searched You Tube but haven't found this particular problem addressed.  Wondering if anyone on this forum has had this particular problem.

1.  Do these gears require lubrication?  

2.  Is it likely continued use will cause an eventual breakdown?

Thanks, any help is much appreciated.

Thanks Kenmitch for the reply.  I would never have found the information on the other forum.  Based on that information, it seems like your suggestion of replacing the whole assembly is the best way to go.  Again thanks.

I have a new (bought brand new 4 months ago) Ulterra and am having the same exact issue that DINK was having in this thread.  

 

Just curious if DINK replaced the steering housing?  My Ulterrra is brand new and can't imagine the gears already being worn out.

Any Ulterra users ever open up the steering housing and lubricate the parts associated with the steering motor?
