I had to rebuild mine. The web site keeps saying out of stock will notify when available. Unfortunately it been saying that for 6 months. I finally used my tube bender and built another handle like there. just out of 1 inch copper

Academy used to sell two ProKonTrol handles. One was a plastic and aluminum piece of junk for about $30 and the other was a high-quality, all-aluminum model that was around $130. The website says they are temporarily out of stock and I don't see the all-aluminum one on Academy's website. Someone else is bound to have them.

The first one gives a phone number to call and is the 360 degree steering. I do not know about the Academy one, if it is 360 degree steering or not. Hope this helps. Tight lines, keep safe and good luck.

Go to Toledo Tackle's website, get their 800 number, call them.They usually have them. They are made in the building next to them.
Never test the depth of the water with both feet.

The $89.95 one is what I am calling a piece of junk. I was in some bad chop one day, the black plastic part that attaches to the trolling motor shaft snapped, and I wound up in the water. It never would clamp itself to the TM shaft securely either. It would constantly loosen up. The all-aluminum one is pricey but worth it.

http://prokontroll.com/ here is there web site. It has been saying that for over 6 months. I called every tackle shop on the first three pages of google to find a replacement. I finally just made a replacement part out of 1 inch k copper and a tube bender. I made the gasket out of seaboard. Works as good as new or even better.

I don't know where McKinney is but I'm in Austin and if you haven't found one you can have this one. I replaced mine with a foot control. I don't know how you guys do it.
