I have a new 80lb thurst MinnKota Vector 3. Last Saturday was it's first use. While I was backtrolling the lower unit (prop and motor) spun around and ended up like someone had put the motor on backwards. The handle was 180 degrees in the other direction and locked in that position. Anyone ever had this happen? Got an idea why? It's under warranty, but is it something I can easily fix so I don't have to remove it from the boat and take it in?
We went to the flats too. I dipped a tire on the rental car onto it just to say I’ve been there,but it was still pretty soft from winter melt. After seeing some moron in a BMW suv get dragged out of the muck I had no intention of repeating his stupidity.
