Can a hotfoot be moved. The guy that owned my boat before me must have been 7' tall. In rough water it is hard to keep my foot on the pedal. If I move it it seems that I would have to have a different cable or shorten the cable I have. I don't have any idea how to do this. Also sometime when I put the pedal down the motor does not respond. Whe n it does this, I can reach down and hold the cable and then take off.
