m/k 101 trolling motor

[speck-chaser]

Went out on the water thursday, and apparently my 3x steering went out on my trolling motor. I had to turn the whole trolling motor to use it, because the inner shaft wouldnt turn. Anybody ever had that problem or any experience with dat?

Same thing happened to me a week or so ago. Call your local repair shop and see if they can fix it, they hate working on those from what I hear. You can also get them to convert it to normal steering

You got a $1000 for me to get a new one? Like I said, buy me one and I'll tell you if I like it better

talked to ryan earlier, he said he hates to work on em.lol He's supposed to hook me up with someone that might be able to fix it though. Might hafta look into getting it switched to normal steering though. Prolly would be less things to go wrong.

already did. waiting now for the damages.

The problem with the 3X is that the teeth in the shaft that make it turn are plastic and they break easy. I know many people that have had this problem more than once.

another problem is dirt dobbers building nests in the head around those gears.

Must mean we need to do a whole lot more fishing if the bugs have time to make homes in that there apparatus. I'm sure the wife will love that.
