I have an old 3HP Minn Kota trolling motor. I am having trouble finding parts for it but MAY have found some on ebay. I'm not sure what I need though. I'm hoping if I describe what it was doing before I took it apart someone could advise?

Motor would run intermittently in both directions. But, made a kind of grinding sound. Sounded like a rough bearing. It was obviously laboring and not at full speed at all. It would finally quit. It would start again, go a few feet then stop again.

The Model is 3hp, serial number is mk01133065a

I do have a schematic from Minnkota if that will help.

Thanks in advance

Yes that probably means it is or was full of water. The grinding sound could be from the magnets breaking loose after being soaked in water and hitting the armature. Not worth fixing.

Maybe they can. What do you have to lose? Try epoxy.
