I have a Minn Kota Turbo 50, labeled as having 32 lbs of thrust. When I was trolling a couple days ago, I noticed wisps of smoke coming from the head, so I immediately took the leads off the battery. Upon further inspection, I found that one of the wire clips on the speed switch had dug into a thick black wire and shorted. I separated the wires and retried, but it only 2 speeds worked, so I suspect the switch got toasted.

Can anyone suggest where to find a replacement switch? A few places I checked said it was no longer being produced. It is a 3 forward and 5 reverse cylindrical switch.

Thanks.
