Not yet when I found it. I ran it about twice before noticed the drip out of the top end and I pulled it apart and got the water out so I caught it before it caused any permanent damage.
I had been using this trolling motor for 2 years with no issues. One day I was out fishing and a few drops of water came out of the head after retracting. I immediately came home and tore it apart to find this leak so I cleaned it out and ordered the parts and repaired before using again.
@@FishinTooling You can Text it. Minn Kota recommend to place in a bucket of water and blow air from the high head Unit. If you see bubble so you have a leak and what you have to Change seal.
