Sounds like a hydraulic tappet ,try my trick as sometimes it works ,firstly add a 3 good squirts of fairy liquid to engine oil and a half litre of diesel ,has to be fairy and not a cheap brand by the way .Then run engine for a couple of days and the noise will lessen,then change oil and oil filter and use a diesel engine oil suitable for turbo diesel or petrol engines ,cheapest you can buy for this no fancy long life oil ,run engine on this oil diesel oil as it contains detergent and this will dissolve the clag inside the engine and the hydraulic tappet ,change oil 5/6000 miles and by this time it should have lost the noise ,then change oil regular max 6000 miles with a oil filter every third oil change and you shouldnt have any more probl?ems
Ummm... A Motorguide Brute is an electric trolling motor. Last time I checked they have no tappets.
A clicking sound coming from the head could be any number of things, a failing bearing, damage on the commutator, a broken brush, debris between the rotor and field magnets, debris between the prop and the end bell of the motor... It would be helpful to know if the sound occurs when the motor is turning or when the entire unit is being turned to steer. If it makes the noise during steering it might be a problem with the rack and pinion of the steering mechanism or a defect in the steering cable. What is meant by the term "head"? Is the sound actually being produced there or is it being conducted from somewhere else in the unit?
