Two years later this motor is going strong kzfaq.infoUgkxBZWgzfpS2Jj7JqIHyaSZjyVHNUgCKCBf Just uploaded a video of it after 2 years. We use it probably a dozen days each year on our small raft.-original review- We got this motor the other day and tested it out. I don't have anything to compare it to, but it seems good to me. It has all the features advertised - the motor housing is metal. We will see how it performs longer term and I will revise this review if needed. Some initial observations:- Good thrust, moves our boat around really well- It comes with a circuit breaker but no switch - so there's no way to kill the motor other than yanking the connection off the battery. I installed an inline switch.- The mount bracket is plastic and I worry it might break- There are a number of plastic parts that I worry about, but the most important ones are metal or some kind of composite

What your doing is changing the timing of the motor, be careful because increasing the RPM also increases the amp draw and also the operating temperature and decreasing the torque. Decreasing the RPM lowers the amp draw and increases torque and the motor runs cooler. Increased amp draw uses more battery and will lower your run time. This works on ALL DC motors.

I have had my motorguide for about 8 years now and just recently I noticed my fin had moved. I watched your video and fixed it from your tip. Thanks brother and yes it worked on a motor guide also. I do have a little squelling noise but its all better now. Its a 8 year old trolling motor that still works great thanks to your tip!! thanks again!!

You could have a piece of the magnet broke off inside. It is a painless fix, but would suggest to take it to a MinnKota warranty center.

Nice! My motor was stored for a few years. It works great when out of the water, when in the water it works for about 1 minute and stops. then when out of the water for about 10 minutes or so it works fine out of the water. Then dip it in the water and stops again. Any ideas?
@MichaelMurphyFishing4 жыл бұрын
Robert Birchard sounds like you might have a seal that has gone bad that is allowing water to get in and break the current in the head of the trolling motor. I suggest taking it to a MinnKota Warranty Center for them to drain it, dry it, check the brushes and replace the seals before it is completely cooked. Not good to leave the water in there. Need to the water out of there to keep rusting potential down.
@robertbirchard53234 жыл бұрын
Thanks for the quick answer! I was thinking the same as you so I bought a seal set Yesterday I replaced the seals. Although when I took it apart it was completely dry and looked factory new in there. I was surprised. I really thought it would be full of "stuff"... So, I filled a trash can with water in the garage, dipped it in and took it through all the testing I could think of. If on a lower speed, it will work for about 25 to 30 minutes and stop. Unplug the power, wait for 10 minutes and it will work again. If on full power it will cut off much quicker. Unplug power, wait and plug back in only to find the same symptoms again.
@MichaelMurphyFishing4 жыл бұрын
Robert Birchard Hmm. Sounds like a contact is becoming disconnected when heated up. I would check grounds in the foot and up in the head. And use a voltage meter to figure out if and where you are losing power.

@robertyoder61596 жыл бұрын
No the prop is not bent, I think that possibly the main shaft that holds the propeller may be bent just a hair, it is not visible by the eye but there is obviously something wrong. When I have it tweaked the shaft gets real hot but doesn't when its centered.
@MichaelMurphyFishing6 жыл бұрын
Robert Yoder I am sorry, I meant prop shaft or fin. Might be worth taking it to a warranty center as that sounds like a major mis alignment. If that is the case, can further cause seal problems or other internal problems, leaking etc. Hope that helps.

@MichaelMurphyFishing11 жыл бұрын
00JDMSir I don't see why you couldn't the mechanics on how the thrusting force is the same, the other things are what is different on a riptide. I adjust mine to as quiet as possible at high speed. Naturally you will have some sound, but the idea is to reduce sound which is internal friction, which will thus increase thrust. New ones don't typically require this, but on used, older and abused ones, it is worth checking and adjusting.
@robertyoder61596 жыл бұрын
If you have time go to my page and I've posted a video of what its doing, just need some advise I imagine I'm going to have to take it somewhere and get it fixed. I've had it apart and magnets are good, the coil is good, the shaft seems to be strait but may not be. I'm leaning towards a bad bearing in the plat under the propeller. I'm pretty good at fixing things I just cant figure this one out. Its killing my batteries and I cant fish up current on rivers. So I gotta get somewhere soon.
@MichaelMurphyFishing6 жыл бұрын
Robert Yoder I just watched your video. It appears to me. That moisture has found its way into the head of your trolling motor. Do not put it back in the water or apply power until it is fixed. The sound you are most likely hearing is your bearing rusting. Your seal has most likely gone bad. All seems operational, which is a good thing, but it needs to be taken to a warranty center bearing replaced, seal replaced, bearing replaced and dried out/blown out with an air hose. Other components need to be made sure they are in good shape. Most everything is pretty durable. Currently there is just moisture. If you get any amount of water to bridge any voltage, you could short it out, so I wouldn’t suggest putting it back in the water until fixed.
