On my trolling motor that is…How tough are those to change out? Any way I can straighten it out?

I'm sure Jones trolling motor will chime in soon. They will point you in the right direction.
They have an Ap for that. I mean make a tool for that. Straighten-EZE Trolling Motor Repair
That's a neat idea, i think you could put one together for about $15 though. Even less if you use your workbench top. Just 2 hooks, a piece of all-thread, and a few nuts and washers.Quote:

You need the heat as there is most likely high temp Loctite on there.
