    Default trolling motor noise


    Minn kota maxxum 55#.
    noticed a little bit of squealing noise from motor when rheostat is set at 70 or above. not a constant noise, intermittent at time being.
    can I install new bearings myself?
    cannot find a service write up anywhere on this.
    Early to bed, early to rise,
    Fish like hell, make up lies.

    Yes. Changing the bearing and installing new seals is not that difficult.
