tough trolling motor

My MinnKota trolling motor is a pain in the butt to put in the water.  I have to pull like hell to get the pin to come out for it to deploy.  The other night, I finally snapped the cord during a tournament.  Two questions.....First, whats the best way to fix the cord?  Tie it back on?  Get a new piece of rope?  Second, can I grease the trolling motor or anything like that to make it easier to put in the water?  I put WD40 on the moving parts I could get to, but is there anything better to do?  Thanks.

    Step on it lightly before you pull the cord. Works on both Minn Kota and Motor guide. Takes the pressure off the pins so they pop free easy
