Thread: Trolling motor question?

I have a motorglide foot control trolling motor that I use mostly for trolling. It is very easy to steer. Their are times when I would like for the steering to be a little tigher so I wouldn't have to keep my foot on it all the time. Is their a way to adjust so the steering would be a little more firm? thanks

There should be an adjustment for that in the foot control. That's how mine is, it has a jam nut with a set screw inside the jam nut. Loosen jam nut and set frimnest (spelling??) with the set screw. When you get it like you want it tighten set screw.
