My technigold isnt going in my boat. Its 18 years old and I guess the brushes are probably a bit worn. Do the magnets go weak over time?
Plus if it sank I'd be gutted

Should be able to pick up something with equivalent performance though for not much money, I reckon.

In the instruction sheet there's a bit that says:
"Don't go chasing swans, it's not big and it's not smart"
