Has anyone purchased one or can recommend a shop they have dealt with that may be able to help out..

I have bought similar gear from Basspro.com when they have specials running. Cabelas also do good deals. Have had no problems with either of these two outfits.

Give this mob a try. Good communications with them to make sure I ordered the right thing and great price.
I bought my Co-Pilot from them

John,
Did you have any drama's with getting a saltwater version. Did you have round plugs on the flat type. i have the round and it seems to be not a common type in the usa..Seems to cause masssive confusion. I have gone to the website previously and had no joy.. The model number i have was taken off actual stock but is not even listed on the minn kota website.. Giving me the s*&ts..

thanks for your help

I have the flat plug version.
What I ended up doing was to email minn kota and ask them for the correct part number for the model I had and stipulated flat connectors.

I then shopped around for that part number.
Worked out OK that way.

You could also try BLA here in brisbane to get the correct part number.
