Sept. 4, 2007 Motor has stopped working. Bad switch in head of motor. Replaced by AIM Marine in Lakeside, CA
Feb. 12, 2004 Corrosion noted on the lower unit, showing through the paint. No action taken yet. Would like to knock the corrosion off and re-prime/paint. Need to confirm which primer and paint.

Great White Trolling Motor - tilt lock latch problem

As per "The Trolling Motor Doctor", added some spacers (in this case, a couple of SS nuts) under the tilt latch spring to add some tension. Worked like a charm!

May 18, 2002 The motor has significant vibration at full throttle Still working on it. The Trolling Motor Doctor (see link above) said to consider changing the aluminum Machete prop with the nylon Machete prop.
