I have an early 2000s 4300 (43 pound thrust and 12v) motor guidetrolling motor that suddenly stopped working. I was running the trolling motor on high for about 10 mins and then stopped once i arrived at a new fishing spot. Only a minute later when i went to use it again, there was no thrust. I pulled the trolling motor out of the water, and saw the prop was barely rotating. The battery was good because I was able to use it on a back up trolling motor, and I do not believe there is a fuse in the boat wiring to the trolling motor (2003 bass tracker 16 panfish). The top crowling of the motor did feel warm. I attached a picture of the wires, and it appears there could be a bad connection in the blue wire. Could this be causing my problem, or is there any other ideas anyone has? Trolling motor was working perfectly just before this happened.
