maybe a propshaft seal letting water in it. Also could be thermal cutoff. Hate to hear that you trolling motor went south. They are so expensive to replace.

Hey cutthroat. If you live close to Cleveland give John Swallows a call. He may be able to help you out on the trolling motor. Sorry to hear about it. I know that puts a damper on a good day when you have to leave the fish.
