Hi all,
i have just removed the first motor from one of my boats, and it is best to say it is truelly knackered. It won't move under power in either direction and its rough to turn so its obvious somethings off inside. It feels like a magnets shifted or something. Either that or the brushes are wrecked. Its lasted me 3 years (its a 380 btw, so 3 to 7.2v). Is this a good lifespan for a fairly well used motor, or am I best looking for something else? Its run very well right up until the end so I was quite pleased (i was equally pleased that the boat was in a small pond when the motor packed it in!)
all my boats bar my springer tug (which has a Monoperm) have Como Drills motors in, stemming from me and dads first boat, a mount fleet Active which has quite possibly the biggest Como motor you can get, rendering her totally overpowered!. I just want to hear others opinions of the Como motors before I replace the motor and spend money. The boat it was in was quite small so it wasn't being taxed.
