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...

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......thanksQuote:

THANKS again, I will try lubing it first..Quote:
