I noticed my trolling motor (a Minn Kota Riptide 55) making a little noise at certain speeds the last time out; almost like a low vibrating sound. It sounded like it was coming from the propeller housing underwater. Is there any maintenance/servicing that the backyard mechanic can do, like grease points or lubrication, or are these sealed units?? Thanks!
