    Default Squeaky trolling motor


    Probly been asked and answered a million times, but what are some things to do for a squeaky TM? I've got a maxxum 55 that is starting to make a little squealing noise when I turn slowly. Silicon spray between the shaft and collar?

    Haven't even really looked at it yet. Thought I'd get some advice before just hosin it down with used motor oil. :D lol.

    Probably all you need to do is loosen the collar and clean the surface real good. Lubing it would defeat the purpose of the adjustment.

    Think it's the collar nut. The noise is related to the shaft turning whether the prop is turning or not. Haven't had a chance to investigate. Will look at it tomorrow.
