Hello All - I have a 90's era foot operated trolling motor that has not been used in 8 yrs. and has been outside most of that time. I put power to it today and got no response. I cleaned and applied dielectric grease to all foot pedal connections. With a tester I was getting over 12 volts throughout the pedal connections but only about 5.2 volts backprobing at the motor shaft.
While messing with it, I discovered that the prop is frozen tight and will not turn. Removed 2 long bolts on motor head but can't get it split. Any tricks on this? Also like to hear theories/ideas on what I may find wrong inside motor head. Thanks for any insight!
