My Minnkota Maxxum 80 Pro is far too noisy when I engage. I expect that it is the bushings located in this photo that need to be replaced since the trolling motor rocks back and forth and is real loose. I have already put in new nyliner busings. Has anyone replaced these for a quieter TM? I have not been able to unloosen the screws with an alum wrench. Was thread locker used to install these? If so, what is the best way to remove?
There is a steel bushing under all those allen head bolts and they can all be replaced,they come as a kit from MK. Lok-tite is used on the threads and a little torch heat is needed to loosen them.

Toward the end of this document, I show how to replace the nylatron bushings with bronze.
