Constant motherboard issues and they have 3 so you can imagine how often you are bringing them in. Only have a 90 day warranty on them because they know they only last about 4-6 months if you fish regularly. They are responsive and fairly local for residents in the greater Tampabay region but if you have to rely on the trolling motor working every time you get on the water I would not recommend. The only people I know promoting them or still using them are captains that 2 and have deals and get them repaired for free.
Most of the positive reviews are older. If I could give it zero stars I would. Really like the guys that support the product but the product is absolute garbage. Replaced the lower unit once under warranty. Replaced miscellaneous other parts under warranty. Last time I took it there, still 1 week left on warranty, told me something was loose and I should be careful. Also told me that I had not calibrated it to go forward when deployed, wrong. Throw in the fact when the Simrad interface was sold, didn't bother to tel... read more
All trolling motors have problems. Since 2019 I have had issues with the top trolling motors. Rhodan outlasted Motorguide by 8mths and MinnKota by 6mths not bad. It took Motorguide 1year and 2 mths to get me a mother board. MinnKota a year, Rhodan 2days the first time and as of today over night. Customer service is great when your motor is under warranty. After warranty expires, find another trolling motor.
I’ve had my Rhodan for two years now. Warranty just expired. I’ve only had it back for two weeks since it was last fixed and it is down yet again. I am a full time charter captain. And this trolling motor worked maybe 7 months out of the two years. I’ve done everything by the book. And everything has been replaced on it at least once. The only reason I stayed with it for this long was because I could get it fixed the same day. But now that my warranty is up I can’t afford to bring it in every other month. 3 lower units, MAN... read more
Based on previous reviews and some online research, it seems I'm not alone in experiencing issues with this trolling motor. The brand doesn't appear to live up to its claims, especially if these motors only last 2-3 years—it's no surprise that the warranty is limited to two years. After dropping off my motor for a check-up because it was only steering in one direction, I received a call just 15 minutes later informing me that I needed to replace the HCB, MCB, and the steering box, essentially suggesting I get a new motor sin... read more
