bought a Fortrex from a board member, its used pretty good. has a bent sheer pin. packaging was not great and the head was slammed into the ground, obviously. the direction arrow was knocked out and couple tabs broken off it. the middle gear in head was knocked out and one head cover screw hold was punched out. also has some slop in the pedal that i cant get gone. Yeah not very happy and havent said anything yet..... but i just finally got to use it today.
anyways, it seems to steer fine when not powered on. its harder to steer when moving at any speed in water. Ive searched and read bunch of posts about this but most seem to say they have to stand on it hard. i dont have to stand on it hard, just harder than normal, enough to lose contact with toe switch all the time when turning left
is this still a bent shaft sounding thing? i havent checked yet.
