[QUOTE="ben2go, post: 56212, member: 751"] I should have been a little more forth coming with info.The motor was working until it was submerged for nearly a year.It was left in a boat at a summer camp for preteens.Some irresponsible individual forgot to put away the boat and unit.Come the next summer,the boat was found docked and submerged in 3 to 4 feet of water.The TM was given to me and got it to run.It made a few turns and locked up.Well it stopped turning and was hard to turn by hand.I figured it needed cleaning and greased, or the circuit board had went out.I still need to check the circuit board.I discovered the brush/armature problem during reassembly.The motor was hard to turn and the prop was rubbing the front case.I may need to replace the armature, but I have run them in a lot worse shape.
