| I can save a few bucks buying one. They have one year warranties. It has been my experience that something will have issues within the first season of using it. Your thoughts please. |

| I wouldn't have any issues at all doing it, but I wouldn't do ebay. Find a shop that is an authorized service center for Minn Kota's and then call and talk to them about it. There is a shop not too far from where I live and I talked to the guy two seasons ago before I was ready to buy one. He suggested that if I wanted to save money and go the reman route, I needed to call him around this time of the season because if you wait until spring he runs out of them. I didn't have the funds to buy a terrova until late spring and he didn't have any left just like he said.

Location: Hayward WI | I bought a remanufactured Maxium 7 years ago and haven't had an issue and it was several hundred less than new. I went to a local tackle shop (Minn Kota service center) and they ordered it for me. If and when I need another, I would buy a remanufactured one. As you said, it comes with a 1 yr warrenty and if it's a true defect, it will show up quickly (unless you don't fish much). |

Location: Warroad, Mn | I too have a remanufactured Minkota. I got mine from Cabela's. It's a 80 lb Maxum and it's has been by far the best trolling motor I've ever had. Buy and large I'm pretty cheap and buy reconditioned stuff when I can find it. So far, my experience is much better than expected and just as good as new or better, as what's going to break has.

Location: On the X that marks the mucky spot | I've bought them and would do it again for the right price. Look around online though, you may be able to find one for the same or similar price. You get a 2 year warranty with new and 1 with the re-man. |
