Anyone on here have any tips for servicing a Scotty down rigger? I have one that is "running slowly". the motor casing has a lot of rust on it...I am thinking there is probably some inside as well, so trying to get the motor out. Thought I had it licked but....alas....no.
There are two nuts on the bottom of the motor casing and a cotter pin on the top holding a top plastic cover on to the flywheel. The cotter pin also looks like it was holding a metal top piece of the motor into the middle/inside of the flywheel. Have the cotter pin off as well, but the motor won't slide out....seems to be attached/caught on the plastic flywheel itself.
Has anyone taken theirs out to replace it that can provide any tips? Nothing on youtube....my standby for when I don't know what I am doing...so looking for some "experience" .....
Thanks for any help or advice you can offer.
