My back up trolling motor is a transom mount endura max variable speed motor that I am having trouble with. It doesn't always want to spin and I have to give it a push to get it started sometimes. The guide pin or whatever it's called under the prop is good. Sounds like I might need to do take the bottom apart and look at the brushes or something? Ideas?
Typically when a DC motor doesn't want to work unless you thump on it or spin it manually the brushes are to blame. Either sticky or just worn out.
Just watched a you tube video on taking it apart. Cleaned up a bunch of dirt, put it back together, and now it seems to be spinning everytime I turn it on.
Glad you got it fixed, wish You Tube was available in my earlier years I would'nt have scrapped so many trolling motors & electronics.
It certainly is a great resource at timesQuote:
