Bad day turns good!

We'll to start off my day I wake up with no alarm! Phone is on silent was suppose to be up and ready to leave at 630. Wake up at 7 buddy is sitting in the driveway
Get to my fishing spot fighting the wind and find a stump with the trolling motor and broke the main gear Attachment 178460get a text from Swampers and tell him how my fishing is going he says he thinks he has one. Get home turns out he has the exact part I need!Attachment 178463ask him what he wants for it and he says nothing just come get it! So a big thanks to Jason for making my day better!
Oh and only caught 1 keeper fish and about 10 or 12 shorts got tired of fighting a broke gear so headed to another hole where I lost a huge fish right at the boat.

I am glad to hear you got your trolling motor fixed. That is what crappie.com and friends are all about.

Man are you still after the "one that got away"?? lol

I like a good ending........

Yes! Sickle and the line broke about a foot above him

1/32 since the weather has gotten cooler I have switched to my lighter jig heads

Hate that.

Hey just glad i could help!! And boy does this help when i try to explain to my wife about why i always hang on to all this "JUNK" !!! This is what its for yes the trolling motor was junk to someone but to Ryan i bet it was better than ordering that piece or buying a new trolling motor!!

Hey guy! Looking at the picture it looks like it's the gear in the head unit. I had the same problem on mine. I replaced it with a new one. Had no problems for a year. The following year first outing the broken part worked it's way down the shaft and got lodged in the armature and made a scraping metal to metal sound. Ended up having to take the lower motor part off to dislodge the metal. Just a heads up. If you have time, you want to take that trolling motor off and turn it upside down to make sure there are no loose broken gear parts so they don't gravitate to the bottom. Tearing that motor apart is no fun job if you don't have the right tools!

I will do that when I get home for sure! Thanks for the heads up
