Motor Guide Trolling Motor Problemo-HELP!
Had a pontoon with a bow-mounted Motor Guide Trolling Motor. 12 Volt 43# thrust. I had bought it new in 2001 or 2002, but only used it one or two times as I used my little bass boat to fish. Used the pontoon to troll or cruise when we had company here at the lake. The pontoon was always covered and also under our dock's roof. Sold it recently to some friends as we plan on moving off the lake and the motor kept blowing fuses. Turns out he had a friend open the motor up and it was all locked up, rusty and all. Was stunned this morning when he told me about this!
Want to do them right by having it repaired or replaced. Anyone out there have any ideas on what could have caused this and options I may have as far as repairs or buying a comparible motor?
Thanks!
