Pull the propeller of and make sure there isn't a bunch of fishing line wrapped around the shaft.

Bad spot on the commutator of the armature.

Yep....motor is history. Likely to have water damage.
Last couple I had that did that, one had a "crumbling magnet" and the other had rusty contacts....both had signs of water intrusion.

Bummer. Does it sound like a new armature would work?
