Minn Kota Authorised Service & Repairs Port Macquarie
Minn Kota Trolling Motor Repairs – Port Macquarie
At Shotgun Marine, we carry out proper Minn Kota trolling motor repairs from our Port Macquarie workshop - the way they should be done. We work on electric steer, cable steer, bow-mount and transom-mount Minn Kota motors that see real Aussie boating conditions, not showroom floors.
If your Minn Kota’s playing up, losing power, not steering right or just plain dead, we’ll track down the fault and fix it properly.
Authorised Minn Kota Service Dealer – Mid North Coast NSW
We’re an authorised Minn Kota service and repair dealer servicing Port Macquarie and the wider Mid North Coast. That means your motor is repaired using the correct processes and approved parts - not shortcuts.
Being authorised matters, especially if warranty’s involved, and it gives you confidence the job’s been done right the first time.
Workshop-Based Minn Kota Repairs at Port Macquarie Marine Services
All Minn Kota repairs are carried out at our fully equipped Port Macquarie Marine Services workshop. Purpose built testing and repair bench. That gives us the space and gear to strip, test and diagnose motors properly - something that just can’t be done on the back of a trailer or in a car park.
Workshop repairs mean fewer comebacks and a Minn Kota that’s ready for the next trip, not the next breakdown.
Saltwater Minn Kota Repairs – Built for Aussie Conditions
Saltwater is tough on electric motors, and Minn Kota units cop a hiding when they’re used offshore or around estuaries. We see it every week - corrosion, water ingress, worn shafts and electrical faults caused by harsh conditions.
We specialise in sorting out saltwater Minn Kota problems so your motor holds position, steers smoothly and keeps working when you need it most.
Minn Kota i-Pilot & i-Pilot Link Repairs
When i-Pilot or i-Pilot Link stops behaving, it can turn a good fishing day into a frustrating one. We diagnose and repair common issues like GPS dropouts, steering faults, remote pairing problems and heading sensor errors.
These systems need proper testing and setup after repairs — and that’s exactly what we do.
Minn Kota Warranty & Insurance Repairs
If your Minn Kota is still under warranty, we can assess the fault and carry out authorised repairs where applicable. We’ll let you know what’s covered, what isn’t, and the best way forward before any work starts.
We also help with insurance repairs, providing clear assessments and professional repair solutions for damaged trolling motors.
Minn Kota Repairs for Fishing Boats & Trailer Boats
We work on Minn Kota motors fitted to bass boats, centre consoles, plate boats and serious fishing rigs right through to family trailer boats. Whether you rely on spot-lock, quiet positioning or long days on the water, we focus on getting your Minn Kota back to reliable, fish-ready condition.

Minn Kota Repairs – Frequently Asked Questions
Do you repair all Minn Kota trolling motors?
Yep. We repair most Minn Kota trolling motors, including electric steer, cable steer, bow-mount and transom-mount models. If it’s been used in Aussie conditions — fresh or salt — chances are we’ve seen the fault before.
Are you an authorised Minn Kota service dealer?
Yes. Shotgun Marine is an authorised Minn Kota service and repairer. That means approved repair methods, correct diagnostics, and genuine parts where required — especially important for warranty jobs.
Do you do Minn Kota warranty repairs?
We do. If your Minn Kota is still under warranty, we’ll assess the fault and let you know what’s covered before starting any work. No surprises, no runaround.
Can you fix Minn Kota motors used in saltwater?
Absolutely. Saltwater Minn Kota repairs are a big part of what we do. Corrosion, water ingress, electrical faults and worn shafts are common — and all repairable when diagnosed properly.
My Minn Kota turns on but won’t steer – can that be fixed?
Yes, in most cases. Steering faults are often caused by control boards, steering motors, wiring issues or calibration problems. We diagnose it properly at the workshop and fix the root cause, not just the symptom.
Do you repair Minn Kota i-Pilot and i-Pilot Link systems?
Yes. We repair and troubleshoot i-Pilot and i-Pilot Link issues including GPS lock problems, remote pairing faults, heading sensor errors and steering calibration issues.
Do you need the whole boat or just the Minn Kota motor?
Usually just the Minn Kota motor itself. In some cases we may need the boat for testing or setup, but we’ll always let you know what’s required before booking it in.
How long do Minn Kota repairs usually take?
It depends on the fault and parts availability. Simple repairs can be turned around quickly, while more complex electrical or water-damaged motors may take longer. We’ll give you a realistic timeframe once we inspect it.
Do you repair Minn Kota motors from trailer boats and fishing boats?
Yes. We regularly repair Minn Kota units fitted to bass boats, plate boats, centre consoles and serious fishing rigs, as well as family trailer boats.
Is it worth repairing an older Minn Kota?
Often, yes. Many faults are repairable and far cheaper than replacing the whole unit. We’ll give you honest advice on whether it’s worth fixing or time to upgrade.
Where are you located for Minn Kota repairs?
All repairs are done at our Port Macquarie Marine Services workshop. We service boat owners from Port Macquarie and right across the Mid North Coast, including Lake Cathie, Laurieton, Camden Haven, Wauchope, Taree and Forster–Tuncurry.
