    Default motorguide X3 stiff pedal


    Bought a new Motorguide X3 46 lb. thrust and the steering pedal seems pretty stiff to steer, can I adjust it to make it easier to mash down or up to steer? Or lubricate to make it easier, but it is brand new..thanks for any replies...
    :rolleyes:

    Yes and Yes on lube and adjust.If you would happen to have a Motor Guide shop near by they can replace your original hard plastic pulleys with Stainless steel pulleys that also helps.

    Thanks for reply, havent looked at it yet, but I am assuming adjustment is under pedal, and I guess I will just spray PB blaster down the cables, under pedal, I will check into the stainless steel pulleys......thanks

    The cable ends turn to adjust tension and have jam nuts to lock position into place.You can loosen the jam nut and only slightly decrease(or increase ) cable tension...Look at it -you will understand after seeing.I would suggest only slight adjustments....Before adjusting tension try lubing and using.After use the tension will decrease slightly...
    Thanks Cray thanked you for this post
