Ok guys, I had this on the other site, so I thought i'd give an update. While I was in the process of installing my DF yesterday, I checked out my trolling motor problem too. I got it turning good like it should and everything, but its still tight as crap to pull up and push down.
I tried to point to the "problem" spots where its binding...I looked to see if it could just be "twisted" causing it to bind, but there isn't any room on either side where it slides down it...its like it just isn't clearanced enough fit down in there. Once you get it past its "resting slot" it swings on over fine, then until it gets to where its almost laying down and you have to really push down on it to get it to latch. Heres the pic pointing to those spots....
Anyone know what the problem could be? Would it hurt just to take a dremel to that plastic piece up front and just clearance it a little more to allow it to fit down in there easier?
