Adjusting the Steering Cable Tension

Neglecting to inspect, maintain, or repair your trolling motor can result in
product damage or serious injury or death. Do not perform maintenance or
service on your trolling motor if you are not familiar with the correct service
and safety procedures.
The cable tension on the trolling motor is preset at the factory. With time and
use, the cables may stretch slightly, requiring occasional adjustment. The
following procedure explains how to adjust the steering cable tension.
Use care while adjusting the steering cable tension. Improper cable tension,
whether too loose or too tight will cause poor operation of the pinpoint
functions.
