[QUOTE="Account Deleted, post: 38850, member: 886"] I have an older Minnkota 48lb thrust 12V trolling motor that I got 2nd (3rd, 4th, 5th, who knows) hand and it seems to lack power. My boat is pretty light/small. It should really move with this thing. Very frustrating.;:;banghead I pulled the prop off and found abut 1/4" of I think 30lb plus braided line wrapped around it that had to be cut off. Pulled the whole thing apart to check the internals and nothing seemed wrong but I really don't anything about them. The foot pedal works fine, rotates as it should, but I shouldn't have to run this thing at near max power to get it to move against a light wind. Thoughts? [/QUOTE]
