    Yep, thanks, of course it is the livewell! I contacted G3 to see if they had any advice, they said the bulkhead behind the seat is aluminum, not wood, and as manufacturer, they do not recommend...

    Yep, cracked in three places. And both cables had rubbed through the conduit inside the sleeve. No wonder the steering was mushy. It still is what it is. But it’s all I’ve got!

    Follow up for anybody looking for this problem. It turned out most of my problem was bad cables and a cracked control head. Replaced all of that and it steers like it did new. There still is...

    The bench seat in my '06 Eagle 175 is shot. I'd like to replace with two seats and leave the center area open for a step. Rather than mount the backrest directly to the back deck, G3 used a seat...
  11. Minn Kota AT55, out of control steering torque

    Thanks in advance for advice, I'm sure this has been asked but I've searched and can't find anything on it in BBC. I have a Minn Kota AT55 foot control TM on my G3 bass boat that's a pain to steer...

    Yeah, it did. Mid range speed was better which should mean better fuel economy. The trim was really touchy without the hydrofoil but settled down after installing it. My motor’s heavier so might...

    Thanks, My only goal was to try to keep the bow down at slower speeds, my hole shot and top speed were great. I installed a Sport Marine SE 400 and moved the motor up as high as it would go (it was...

    I’m sure it is, I know it’s stern heavy. I raised the motor two holes, which is all the way up, and it’s working good. Can trim it up now without excessive porpoising and WOT is 6,000 rpm. Looks...
