My 12 year old Vetus bow thruster is not working. I have proper 26v across the unit but it won't turn. The prop turns the shaft freely. Prior to stopping, the unit ran with diminishing thrust for a couple of years. So the tech's conclusion is that the motor needs new brushes and windings.

Does this sound reasonable?

Any thoughts on what is required to remove the electric motor and get it rebuilt/refurbished?

Where to take it in Tampa or send it?

Thanks
