I've got a Envinrude 50 that's 1989 model. It's been great and had no problems until Friday when I was idling waiting to load up. All of a sudden I hear this strange noise coming from somewhere eaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh. I shut over the engine!! Not restarting it but just turning the key it comes back on so I turn back the key and drop the trolling motor back out and load up the hard way.

I did notice that day that while I was just idiling that my motor wasn't peeing (so to speak but once I had it in gear it was fine). I normaly don't just sit there and idle but I'm guessing this is a problem since the alarm was going off.

Anyone ever have to deal with this? If so what all did you do and what did it run?

Fish Hard!
