I was given a trolling motor with foot control. I started taking it apart as it needed to be cleaned and had a lot of fishing line wound up around the shaft. The person who gave it to me never used it so he doesn't even know if it works.
What things should I be looking for or checking while putting it back together? Are there common problems that happen to electric motors or parts that need to be replaced? I'm wondering if there are signs to look for to determine whether certain parts are bad on it. It would be much better to fix them now that its apart.
I might have missed a guess, but here are the ones that I noted:
JerkinLips – March 27th, then April 7th
Brianf. – March 28th
Bobberwatcher – April….
MikeG3Boat – April 10th
SkunkedAgain – early April, then April 21st
Definitely a tough year for guesses, as it seemed to be a no-brainer early ice out. Then it got cold and snowed again.
