So the motor is probably shot then?
I had a buddy who lost a few speeds on his trolling motor because he was constantly going through vegetation and hitting bottom. Maybe you striped a gear.
Do electric trolling motors have gears?

I though it was just an electric motor with an output shaft directly to the prop.
Yes. No gears.
