The prop is like new, and I had it off to make sure the shaft is clear.
New battery, wiring looks fine, connectors buffed clean, etc.
There used to be a local shop that dealt in trollers. I'll need
to see if I can find them, if they are still around.

Is it the trolling motor or is it the battery? Have you taken the prop
off and looked underneath to see if there's fishing line wrapped around
the prop shaft? What is the condition of the prop itself? How about the
wires leading from the battery to the trolling motor? Too often, boat
manufacturers put light gauge wire in for the trolling motor. The wires
will heat up under load and lose efficiency.

I don't believe that dealers can test them, but you might check your area
for an authorized repair center. MinnKota's website has a listing of
repair centers.
