Anyone ever buy a remanufactured trolling motor? Looking at a couple but not sure if it worth risk of buying one without looking at the condition its in.

Remanufactured trolling motors
What kind you looking for like size and bow or transom. And for checking it out I would have to test it hooked to the battery and check the prop see if pin is bent or it's been operated for years with fishing line warped around the shaft. But if it's it's factory reconditioned I'd say your safe without testing it. For me I'd buy new.
Factor reconditioned, no issues buying if the savings are good. Factory reconditioned are brought back to factory specs, they might have a scratch on them so what. What they are is motors that were warrantied out for what ever reason, those motors are then repaired and sold as reconditioned. I wouldn't think twice about that.
If it’s a factory reconditioned unit I wouldn’t hesitate to buy it. Those units are worked on by one technician and gone over thoroughly. I have purchased other reconditioned pieces of equipment and never had a problem. They also carry a one year warranty I believe.
