DejaVu......I did exactly the same thing.

I had something similar happen this last weekend. My Mag 10 would all of a sudden start retrieving all by itself, again and again and again. When I got home, I split the electric motor case and water started pouring out. I've since dried the thing out and am waiting for a new up/down switch and boot before I put the thing back together (the terminals/tabs on the old switch were almost rusted through). Based on the amount of rust inside, I think I've had a water intrusion problem for some time now.

I hope mine does as well as yours!!!
