Default MinnKota Shaft Extension

I would like to have a longer shaft on my trolling motor and was wondering if i could get it extended and about how much would it cost?

Yes, you can order a longer shaft. The shaft is threaded on the end into the motor. Don't forget to put some marine silicon on threads when putting the new one on. Look in the phone book and find a trolling motor repair place, or you might want to google trolling motor shafts. A repair center may have a used bad motor with a longer shaft you can get cheaper than ordering one. They are high as giraffe pus#y but it can be done.

I called Trolling Motors Unlimited back to see why there is such a difference in price. The price they quoted me ($300) was to switch over to digital. ***?
