Ice is out, people's peirs and docks are going in. First kayak outing is about going to take place for 2025 and at my go to lake! Hop in, push off do about 3 or 4 paddles... you know normal routine right for a kayaker... set the motorguide in and........... FREAKING NOTHING!!! 😡🤬😤 COMPLETE FAILURE. Screwed around floating away for 5 min or so, padded a whole 3 or 4 more strokes back to the landing and fished from the landing dock with a broken heart! I think the motor finally burned up, I've put that thing through the rigger for 3 years now i believe, its been good to me. Thank the Lord I held onto the one I won from the retreat last March! Got to get that one rigged up next weekend and regroup for round two!
