Questions people ask
Will you work on a Minn Kota I bought interstate or online?
Yes. Minn Kota lets an Authorised Service Centre service any Minn Kota motor, wherever it was bought.
Should I take it back to the shop I bought it from?
Only if that shop is an Authorised Service Centre. That's the advice on Minn Kota's own warranty page.
What do I need for a warranty claim?
The motor, and proof of the original purchase showing the date and the serial number. The warranty is for the first owner and doesn't transfer with the boat, or if you sell the motor to someone else.
Is my freshwater motor covered on the harbour?
No. Minn Kota's freshwater warranty doesn't apply once a motor has been used in salt or brackish water. The Riptide range carries a saltwater warranty.
Who handles Minn Kota warranty in Australia?
BLA Distribution, Minn Kota's Australian distributor. Claims go through an Authorised Service Centre, so you deal with us and we deal with BLA.
Salt water changes the warranty
Minn Kota's freshwater warranty doesn't cover a motor once it's been used in salt or brackish water. Up here that takes in the harbour and every tidal river.
The Riptide motors carry Minn Kota's saltwater warranty, so for Top End water that's where we start. If you already run a freshwater motor on the salt, bring it in and we'll tell you where it stands.
Minn Kota's own advice is to take the prop off after every trip and check for fishing line wound behind it. On a barra boat that's a five minute job that saves a seal.
