I have a Minn Kota Endura 55 trolling motor that's in great condition except for one thing. While we were out in my Lowe 16' Big Jon last weekend bouncing around on Nolin Lake, I happened to notice that the prop on the trolling motor was separated from the motor housing and you could see the shaft. I tried to push it back down but couldn't. I tried turning it on and it won't spin. The prop itself isn't loose and it didn't slip off the end of the shaft. I keep the motor mounted on the bow of my boat with the prop in the down position during all transport.
When I used the motor before this happened, I would have to turn the blade by hand before it would come on but just for the first time out for the day on the water and after that it would work well for awhile.
Is this repairable or should I junk it? A buddy of mine has given me another trolling motor that he wasn't using so I can take a chance on fixing the 55 Endura if it's worth trying.
Here's some pics of it:
