Hello,

I was trying to find it on the internet and it looks like for other brands it is not a problem, but for this particular one it is not there.
Anybody has an idea?

The motor is good , just the brushes got worn out.

Thanks.

I don't know what those brushes look like but an electric motor supply house might have brushes that can be adapted/modified to work.

Could check a NAPA dealer or find brushes that are larger and grind them down to fit if you can't locate the correct sized ones. There are thousands of brushes of ever size out there. I guess you already tried contacting MotorGuide? :noidea:

There are a lot of trolling motor repair places on the web. Contact them as well to see what they offer. JMHO!

The manufacturer should have replacements, you should be able to contact them directly or go to any Motorguide sales dealer and have them order the parts. I have an old MinnKota trolling motor that had the speed coil go bad a few years ago. That part had been discontinued but Minnkota told me where to go to get a replacement. An aftermarket company had taken over their discontinued items. Nice company to do business with!!
