[QUOTE="rsimms, post: 5686842, member: 1534"] Yes, this. A bad brush contact. Depending upon the age of the motor, and whether you can do the work yourself, or need to pay a professional - it might just be time to buy a new TM. If it were me and my VERY limited mechanical abilities, megalomaniac's suggestion to "break 'er open" would be a deal-breaker. :oops: Several brands, such as Garmin, have started selling "brushless" trolling motors so this would never be a problem. But I suspect they may ultimately present their own new set of problems??? [/QUOTE]
