Location: Home of the 2016 World Series Champion Cubs | Has anyone found that the washer/friction discs or whatever they are called that are used to control or adjust the co=pilot on a tiller motor have worn out. Even when I move the horizntal lever adjustment for the co-pilot on my O/B to the max setting I still get very little "hold" from it. I think it may be worn out but cant recall ever hearing of anyone replacing the carn thing. Havent call the mechanic yet but woould like to be up on what I might be looking at as I get in to this.
Thankls, Karl |

| Have you adjusted the bolt/nut underneath yet? The arm that you are talking about should have a nut or bolt underneath. Sometimes all it takes is a 1/4 turn or so to tighten it up enought to have it workign fine. Exact same thing happened with my old 25hp. Worked fine after that minor adjustment.

Location: Home of the 2016 World Series Champion Cubs | BINGO!!!! Thanks, that did the trick. Was on Lake Michigan out of Hammond Indiana, trolled for 3 1/2 hours. Hit Gary Light, Dean Mitchell, and Right Outside Patrick Marina. Got a 3# coho just before 7pm. 4 other boats in the area all hooked up at the same time. Thought we hit a feeding window but no-one hooked up after that. Back to muskie on wednesday. |
