    New Minn Kota Fortrex 80# - shaft turn problem?

    Brand new install and first trip out T/M worked great. Had to move motor/prop up a little as too far under water surface. Loosened the top as well as the 2 allen screws under shaft collar, shifted up maybe 3-4 inch's, tightened all back down. Later found the foot pedal would not turn the motor head past a 90 degree left turn. Turns to the right at least 180 degrees fine. Assume must have turned or shifted something when I moved motor/prop up a little? Now not sure how to get lined back up where turns same approx. amount both left and right?

    Just found a couple of Jones Trolling Motors answers to this - thanks John......Might add, following those instructions the foot pedal now turns motor left and right an equal amount. Pretty easy to do, once the tension screw is loosened enough to lift the drum up and rotate.
