Easy to fix.
Rating: 5 out of 5 stars
Very easy to replace damaged piece, and overall very happy with the NV 86 trolling motor. My motor was severely damaged by ingress of rainwater a few years ago, and the control head caught fire. Newport Vessels shipped me all the parts to repair it at no charge. I hope the later versions of this motor now have better splash-proofing. If not, then at clear warning label on the motor to keep the control head protected from water.
