I assume since many of them are pro staff guys they quietly get a new motor instantly when theirs go bad. What is sad for not a whole lot more money all of that could be beefed up. All I can do is use it until it breaks again. Fishing the next 3 days straight....hope it holds up. Right now everything is eating and I want to be in on it...LOL.
