Jim,
Check with Beagle, I know that he has one of those high powered trolling motors with the guide, remote, etc.
Later, Ship
Does anybody know how to "tune" a MinnKota Maxxum trolling motor, so that the head of the motor can be in a given position and the pedal will be at the middle of its draw when the motor is aimed stright forward? I know you can twist the whole shaft, but can you adjust it otherwise? Thanks.

Will do. The maxxum is their cable driven foot control model. There's no remote like with the Terrova. Good to hear from you, Ship. I hope to see you guys up at Truman this spring.

Take the top off and adjust cable by pulling steer cable .
FISH-ON!!!!!
I've been wrong before, I think his has a 12 or 14 ft foot control cord so that you can move it aft, also has a gps (I might be wonge here) or some sort of set contol steeirng device

remove the top cover by removing the 4 screws under the head. back off the tension screw on the foot pedal that is located under where the cables and wiring connect to the front of the pedal base. Back it off just enough to ease the tension on the cables to allow you to pull the black gear that the cables wrap around on the top of the shaft. ou will have to take the bracket lose that holds the light in it. Before you pull the gear up, put the pedal in the position you want it in. after you do this, pull the gear up and turn the shaft to point the motor in the direction you want. After you get the motor pointing in the correct direction , Slide the gear back on the shaft and tighten the screw on the pedal to tighten the cables back down. Then put the bracket that holds the light back on. Line the arrow on the cover to the motor and put the cover back on with the 4 screws. You should be done at this point.
Thanks, Brad. I appreciate it. I'll see you boys on the dock.

Glad to have Brad on here. Great knowledge of fishing and anything to do with it. Sounds like he got you fixed up Jim with out even having to be at Bucksaw to ask him. All though I thought that motor had a cedar tree sensor on it that took you straight to them. Guess my motorguide has the hardwood sensor. May have to get the adapter for when you fish with me.
Tuned it up today. Piece of cake. Thanks again Brad. Put on the 522 today and just am planning on taking the boat down to get a base glassed in for the front pole. Gotta get things all slicked up before this ice melts. Jared, I hope to see you soon.
