The reason I ask is, lost reverse in my 55 lb thrust trolling motor, very strange. 

I've rewired the entire motor and still no reverse so just going to live with it.

 

The cost to replace the motor pod is $600 and the only time I use reverse is when I drift to a hang up and then want to back out.

 

I usually just rotate the head 180 degrees and apply some thrust. Didn’t even realize that bow mounts had reverse.
