[QUOTE="ben2go, post: 56151, member: 751"] First I wanna say Thanks to Bob Ridgway of Ridgway Marine.He is helping me solve a problem I ran into with my trolling motor.So far I have not invested any money in it.The reason the TM wouldn't run is, the armature was running under the brushes and brush holders.I got luck and caught it before it ran through the windings.I tried to shim the armature back but then the prop wouldn't fit.There has gotta be an easy solution.This motor is simple as they come.On with the pics. Banged up brushes. [img]https://i205.photobucket.com/albums/bb17/ben_2_go/1027%20Jon%20Boat/damagedbrushes.jpg[/img] Banged up armature and windings. [img]https://i205.photobucket.com/albums/bb17/ben_2_go/1027%20Jon%20Boat/damagedwindings.jpg[/img] The brass square brush holders should ride directly over the round shiny copper part. [img]https://i205.photobucket.com/albums/bb17/ben_2_go/1027%20Jon%20Boat/brushesoverrun.jpg[/img] Here is everything assembled as it would be in the TM's lower case.Everything is even more out of alignment.
