Motor works great 80% of the time then all of a sudden the prop will stop. To get the prop spinning again i need to turn the motor either all the way left or all the way right then its like the power returns and it will run good again. Any body esle experience this or know what the isse may be?

Also just pulled my trolling batteries and one was fried and,the other was good. So last summer one battery was most likely doing most of the work could this be the cause?

It could be the cause. Have you checked the alignment of your skeg and nose cone? There is a video on Youtube somewhere talking about tuning a trolling motor.
