I have a Minn Kota Maxxum Pro. This summer, I was blowing the automatic circuit breaker. Replaced with a new one, and now I am having the same problems, i.e., losing all power after about 45 to 60 minutes. After about 20 to 30 minutes, the motor will run normally again, for awhile, then die again. Batteries are fine. The motor is an 05. What is causing this? Is it the trolling motor itself? The dealer says that they will send it in to get looked at, or replaced. The problem ruined a week long fishing trip this spring and after replacing the breaker, thought I had it solved until this fall. No luck. Want to get it taken care of for the last time hopefully. I use my trolling motor a lot. FYI, I normally run it at about 30 % or less...if that helps.
I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.
This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.
I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware. But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.
reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.
I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.
If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?
Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess
My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.
Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.
above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out
here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there
here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
