With some free time on my hands I was curious about whether it is worth while to strip out the motor bearings and either replace them with better ones or to bathe them in slick silicon based lubricant (dry completely before re-installation)

I know that I am being picky but it would be nice to get mpst of the noise out of the trolling motor.

The next one is about the Noisy steering gear box. Anyone tackled that one yet?

Thanks for any feedback and advice
