    Unscrew the 3 screws on the bottom of the head. Oh deploy the trolling motor before doing so. pull top cap off and align the pointer in the right direction. install top and your good to go. hope that makes sense. I do mine without deploying the troller but I have done this a few times.

    While you have the top off, see if the indicator post that goes into the arrow slips. Also check and make sure the idler pulley is meshing with the cable drum good.
