    Default I Can't Believe....


    that I found all this on my trolling motor prop shaft......I felt some vibration yesterday coming from my trolling motor....needed to check it out before TB anyway so I pulled the prop off today and this is what I found.....just a reminder that we need to check it out often.....

    I just pulled some off mine today. Both outboard and trolling motor. Spider wire will eat a seal quick.
