I bought a 10 year old motor guide Hyper drive 57lb thrust for my 15ft fishing boat today and tested it out to make sure it steered and the prop spun and I got it home, mounted it on the boat and tried it out, and it only works on one speed. you can spin the speed switch around and around and it never stops or makes any clicking sound, and the prop will keep spining at the same speed. Is this a bad switch? should it normally click into place on each speed setting? Spent $100 on the thing and now have to deal with this...

Well i looked into it a little further and found out the variable speed switch spins but the plastic isnt actually turning the metal switch on the inside, must be stripped or cracked

Does it only run on high speed? If so you have issues.
