I have on idea how this happened. Can anyone advise on how to fix this? I dont wanna break anything so I havent messed with it.
I put a lot of thought into a solution. I kept referring back to the picture and then finally figured out what the problem is. I hate to tell you this, but your problem is that your TM is a Motorguide. Buy a Minn Kota and you won't have any problems like this.


Just kidding of course. Sounds like others have solutions that will work, but you asked a good question. How did it get out of whack to start with? Has anyone contacted Motorguide to see what they say?
