I was out on the lake today enjoying being tossed around by the wind, when I decided to move further back into a creek. As I went to raise the trolling motor...SNAP. It broke. After 10 minutes of trying to figure out how to get it raised back up with out the string, I finally managed.

So now after that, I have a couple of questions...

1.) Are there any ways to temporarily rig it up so you day on the water isn't finished?

2.) How do I repair this flippin thing. I know it's just a string, but what's the best way to tie a new one back on.

Thanks and blessed fishin,
