    Default Minn Kota 40lb Edge help... PLEASE!


    It seems that the foot control cable has some play in it, kinda like Grampa's ole farm truck. I can be going just fine and then all of a sudden, it starts to turn, then I try to correct, and it over-corrects, then I just have to stop and think. I don't need to be thinking while fishing. All my buddies ask if I need to lay off the brews, even at 7:00 in the morning. I gotta get this fixed without getting a new TM.

    Is there something I can do to tighten up the cable from foot control to motor?

    Go to fixya.com and enter model info. it says something about flipping foot pedal over and tightening the tension screws.

    That is why I went to a "Tiller" type.

    Make sure the beariung is tight in the middle of the shaft. If it get too loose, you will not be able to steer and it will drift on you. It would be strange that the steering cables stretched out.
