Just purchased a phoenix with a used ultrex been fishing with multiple times. Today prop stop spinning after using for few hours. Didn’t hit anything and still had power, steering fine. Removed pedal spring etc seemed fine. Everything Working except prop. Anything I can do?

Did you check shear pin?

[Wgobble8]

Nope but I will check thanks

[Wgobble8]

Shear pin looks good so that’s not it

Speed control knob set on something other than 0?

Probably the reed switch on the foot pedal. Do a search and there will be several threads on how to fix.

[Wgobble8]

Yeah power and control knob for sure on and set on more than 0. Tried adjusting reed switch like videos and post stated but no luck so far.

I am fighting the same issue. I just bought a used boat with the Ultrex & the prop also stopped spinning. I took it to a service center & naturally, it worked fine. I fished 3 days with no problems & it quit working again. It steers fine, but the prop will not spin. I was able to make the prop spin by using the remote, so my problem is definitely with the foot pedal. I checked it when I got home & it worked fine again, so something is probably loose somewhere, I just have not found it yet.

Water in lower unit?

What can I do to check to see if water is in the lower unit?

[fishnfireman]

Remove prop, loosen bottom bolt, deploy motor and see if any water comes out.

This was the issue with mine.
They replaced the armature and new seals

Make sure to do this while it's on the trailer!!

What’s the best place to buy parts if needing to replace armature/ brushing?

[eliteangler]

Your Ultrex is probably still under warranty. Did you hit something that you think may have caused damage? If not, I would talk to an ASC (Authorized Service Center). You can go to Minn Kota website and search for an ASC near you by zip code.

I was able to use armature-- new brushes seals and clean up armature where brushes ride.

Not sure it can be warrantied by second owner.

Even though there have been numerous cases of leakage from NEW motors.

I'm sure that John Jones with Jones Trolling Motor could supply you with all the parts and advice you could use.

Warranty doesn't pass with motor, it's to original purchaser only. Sounds like a good chance that water is in lower unit. I can help you with the parts.
