What size socket are you using to tight the nut? You said the nut is an half inch nut, so what size socket do I need?

[@johnsnow6022]

My motor was not working my bearing was kinda coming out so I tapped it back in and now the motor works ???? Any idea why that would make it work

[@bbassfishes8974]

John Snow No sir. The only thing I would think of, is that the bearing keeps it on track to spin correctly. Other than that, I’m not sure of why it wouldn’t completely work. You may have a bent prop shaft if that is the case. Keep in mind, I’m by no means an expert just a diy guy.

[@johnsnow6022]

@@bbassfishes8974 thanks for your response. After watching more videos I think the brush holders are hanging up and not going out onto the armature. By me tapping the bearing helped free the brush holders because when I tap on the side it turns on. Any ways thanks

Very helpful. I bought a used minn kota and am slowly learning what I need to know to be safe out on the water. Thanks!

Old vid but helped me… thank you.

What is the silver piece behind the pin

[@dennisleslie]

Nice video. It reminded me of a late 70s early 80s kung fu movie. Haha

[@shawnstrode6478]

It's NOT a cotter pin

[@johngalloway7018]

What size litter pin?

[@fje137]

Great video.. if the pin gets bended would it cause low performance? I hit my trolling motor hard and now it doesn't go as fast as it was b4 even at the 4 or 5 setting. TiA

[@hookedup]

Pretty crazy how much stuff can get inside/ around the prob. Nice Tips Bruce

[@shedhunger6700]

Thanks bud, this helped my situation out a lot. Peace

[@hankgillard6623]

This was very well done. Thank you for explaining the process step by step and giving the fore-warnings i.e. there will be a little gap in there etc. Nicely done.

[@allenhuffcutt7002]

Thank you. This was a very helpful video. Now I feel confident to replace the prop on my trolling motor.

[@CameraCheckChannel]

The Pin of my minn kota traxxis is also broken. Where did you get a new metal pin? Thanks! .-)

[@79Satd]

I called minn kota customer service, you will need to give them the serial number

[@ScooterBlia2]

I noticed that inside of mine there was a small paper like washer as well. What is it that I found?

[@jenniferbelmonte6093]

Thanks, good video, it was very informative and so were the comments from "up the creek".

[@cruisemanpuzzle3801]

Great video, no steps were skipped. Thanks..

[@craiglawson4263]

Thanks. Made it easier for me to do the same thing for a friend. He had almost the identical problem.

[@trevorthompson8808]

Great video.

[@charleskleypas4405]

Is there a recommended torque for the nut?

[@bbassfishes8974]

Charles Kleypas General rule I’ve always used is a quarter turn past snug.

[@charleskleypas4405]
