Trolling motor stopped thrusting

Featured Replies

Foot pedal troller was running fine all day pulled it up to move spots and when I went to use it again I didn’t have any thrusting power. I can hear a relay clicking when I go to power it but the prop isn’t spinning. Weird thing is that I can still move the shaft side to side with the pedal. The prop spins freely by hand which leads me to believe there isn’t any line tangled in there. I’ve tried toying with the wires while it’s on auto thrust and still no luck. Any info would be greatly appreciated!

Take the prop off and look at the shear pin isn't broken.

Yep, my guess as well. 

I've used nail weights in the past then replaced with softer shear pin once I got home. 

When you press the foot pedal can you feel the rotation of the armature in the motor or is it just a click of the relay and then a dead feeling?
