Well it got ya to look, anyone ever have issues with freezing the shafts up on their trolling motors early in the year on the river? Last year after fishing a spot a bit then deciding to move a mile or so up river we froze the shaft inside the slide portion on my v2 power drive, it took us 2 hours to thaw and get it back in the water, granted it was a balmy 20 out or so and w windchill while running very feasible, curious if anyone else ever had the issue? Wiping down would help I imagine but not sure if spraying a silicone type spray or Pam like an auger shaft is a good idea
