I was trolling for crappie this week and my terrova 80 w/ipilot quit
I had been trolling about 4 hr at 1.5 mph and all of a sudden the terrova started surging it was shaking the front of the boat
I just assumed the batteries were getting low I checked the built in battery check and i showed it was 1/2 charge to make a long story short i called it a day and when i got home i charged batteries and took the boat back to the lake saturday to try it agin after i started the trolling motor it started surging again and then it just quit. When i turn it on with the remote it says it is running but the prop it not turning you can turn it by hand it is not locked up.Has any one else exprienced any thing like this.I troll fpr crappied 90 percent of the time and the motor is around 4 yrs old,do ou think it could be as simple as brushes worn out?
