[electricboats] Cutis 1238-5601 Motor controller failure.

Hello,

I have a thunderstruck motor system Ac34 kit in my sailboat.

I recently had a failed contractor and seem to have fried the motor controller. (Curtis 1238-5601)

I was getting error message 37 "motor open".

I spoke with Bill over at HPEVS, when I told him the leads from controller to motor tested good, he right away suspected the controller.

He was going to have me send it in to them to see if they could fix it, but when I told him I could hear something rattling around inside he said sounds like a fried MOSFET and suggested I send it to FSIP in Pa.

FSIP will ONLY do a full reconditioning for $1200.00, tempting as it will come back like new condition with a one year warranty.

But I was curious if anyone knows a place that might just fix what is broken and cost much less, or if any one has opened up the case of one of the Curtis controllers and had any luck replacing burned out mosfet's.

I think FSIP's price to rebuild will be the same even if I was to mess up up even further!

Thank you for any help you can offer!

Anton
