I have a Minnkota Endura transom mount trolling motor and the last time I was out I noticed the motor was louder than usual and wasn't spinning as fast as it should be. When I got it home I took apart the lower unit and it had a bunch of water in it and what looked like a bunch of mud. The very back bearing was corroded pretty bad but everything else cleaned up pretty good and looks fine. Has anyone ever changed out the bearing in a trolling motor? Is it worth trying to find a replacement bearing and try to get the motor housing sealed up? The motor is about 7 years old and ran perfectly fine up until now.
