Got out on the water and put it in anchor mode. The motor sounded rough but was holding position. After 20 minutes the prop just stopped. I hit the prop icon button on the bottom left of the pedal as you look down at it. Nothing. Couldn't get it to work the rest of the day. Deployed 10-15 more times to use livescope while the wind pushed me but never got the motor back. Ideas?

II would agree. Water intrusion. Remove the prop and loosen 5/16 bolt that holds motor together. There should be water dripping out once it is loose. Do not completely remove it just loosen it.
If you are uncertain on what to do bring to ASC for repair, especially if it is under warranty.
I took it to the warranty center they fixed it.
they also replaced all the seals on the lower unit
No warranty left. Definitely water intrusion. The armature and bearing were replaced. I'll test it today on the water. Thanks guys
