Problem Solved: It was the upper & lower hinge pins in the bowguard mount that were damaged; that created the binding during the motor lift & stow movements.

I backed off all bolts and got the same result but that's a good observation...Thanks!

Hoping for some help, I just picked up a used 2004 Minn Kota 55 (AT) All Terrain with a bow mount. After installation; the motor will go all the way down but it takes some force. It is binding near the nylon bushings on the shaft that holds the trolling motor support yoke; it binds at the same...

Misunderstood, I thought you were looking for an outboard.

Hi, I picked up a 1990 Evinrude: E40TTLES, this is the Tiller model (back-troller) 20 inch shaft, electric start with power trim/tilt; it has a clear Missouri title. The motor is currently being evaluated by a reputable Dealer with extensive OMC knowledge. Before I list any outboard I have them...

If it's happening on downstream only, your motor is too high.

gajet31, I have had some success with a flip up mount that I keep wedged completley up with a small piece of foam rubber block and out of the way unless I'm: 1. fishing a lake 2. In a river within a deep pool or long run looking for structure and depth drops. Otherwise when running the river, I...

jcb, Good luck finding your boat Lowes also makes a center console jet tunnel in a 17 footer: I think it's the 1760 CCJ? It's really designed great. I would power a Lowe Rougneck as close to max as possible; they are heavy boats. My Lowe 1652 VPT tunnel hull had a Mercury Jet 40 four stroke and...

JCB, I reviewed my post and don't want to confuse you with my math: but when I refered to the 115 four stroke being 80 at the Jet nozzle, I meant to identify that model as a Yamaha (not a Mercury) to show you that the powerhead rating is how manufactures are identifying their fourstroke jets.

JCB, It's been referred to as a 60/40 as a carry over from the 2-cycle days and that of course is often not corrected as, it may drive our buying decision? But, its a 40 powerhead and you'll be pushing more like 29-30 at the nozzle. If you get a moment call Mercury Customer Service and ask them...

The 40 Jet 4 stroke is not a 60/40 they are 2 different engines: you'll be pushing more like 29-30 HP at the jet head with the 4-stroke Merc. 40 Jet. That being said, the guys at Blazer really know their business. My 1752 Blazer Sport in 80 gauge not 100, rigged exactly like the one you...

Regarding performance on Lakes, when the wind comes up and water becomes choppy you're subject to having the motor cavitate and you'll lose thrust. Also, the jet extends just barely down into the water so you won't have the control with your trolling motor as if you had your outboard lower unit...
