i have a minkota riptide trolling motor and today it died. i was trolling in the marsh and hit a couple of mud spots not too bad. well i started drifting with the current. next time i fired up the trolling motor it was making a wierd sound. I know this sounds funny but it sounded like a race car. it would take a while to get to full speed and sounded like it had pipes on it. well i was hot and got tired so we shut it down and came home. when i got home it won't do nothing now. checked all the wiring to batteries and connections. any one have any ideas?? its only about 2 1/2 years old.
