So a very helpful deck hand yanked on a dock line as hard as they could and pulled my boat TM first into a dock at the end of the summer. The trolling motor makes quite a bit a noise and vibrates hard. If you spin the prop you can see the shaft is bent and it keeps driving the seal out.
Friday a new armature, seals, and brush kit(2013 model, figure might as well change the brushes) will arrive. This weekend(maybe) I'll install them.
2 questions;
1. Anyone done this and have any useful knowledge I need?
2. Is there any interest in me taking picks and trying to turn this into a "how to"?
