Hi all,

I have a 50lb Minn Kota Maxxum trolling motor w/o the foot pedal. I'm having problems getting it running.

When I hook it up to a battery, I get no spin on the prop, but using the handle to turn it on (adjust thrust), I hear what appears to be something spinning/grinding at the top of the shaft (underneath the control panel). The battery is fine as it runs another motor I have. Any suggestions on what could be the problem?
