I have been using MinnKota motors since we have had a boat. Their expertise and fine products are simply the best. MinnKota knows best, and they will do a fine job of rebuilding your motor if you want.
I would just suggest that you use this "accident" and buy a new MinnKota or buy one of their rebuilt ones if you don't have the money. They now have a 3-year warranty on new models. Can't give you any info on local or Utah rebuilt places, but if you decide on them, I would clear them with MinnKota first. Things are not always as simple as one might imagine.
I always disconnect my motor from the battery, unless 1000% sure that I or a fishing buddy are the only things, yes, things, around. I almost had an identical instance when my dog started licking and chewing the handle on an older motor. I propably had lunch not long before so that must have attracted her.
