I have a Motorguide 82lbt Trolling Motor that caught fire...I just came off the water, I loaded the boat on the trailer and I heard this sizzling sound and smoke coming from the bow. When I went to the front, I heard a loud pop and a flame coming from the lower unit of the trolling motor. I took my shirt off and started pounding on the flames...I got the fire out and took the the lower unit apart, apparently, the piece they call the comm, caught fire...just wanted to know if anyone had this issue before...I know that motorguide upgraded the comm for some odd reason, but they won't tell me why...This could have been worst then what is was, if I was still on the water, I don't know what would have happened...Has anyone had this is issue, I truly, believe this should be a recall through motorguide..
