Yes it turns very easy to the left and then back to the center!

Here is more photos, Im going to check in the foot pedal maybe something is causing a obstruction!

Sounds like when you adjusted the pedal more flat you took out the right adjustment. You have to have the full range of motion on the pedal for it to steer properly. I would try putting it back as you originally had it.

The pedal in your pic shows that your making a right turn. That is as far as you can go. I think because you took out your right turn with the adjusting of the pedal. When you made it flat you moved the front of the pedal down and lost the right turn.

I push down on the heal and the motor turns to the left! I can't get the pedal to sit even between the heal and toe. Every time I have tried to adjust the foot pedal the motor is all the way against the trailer. I know I should take it out and put on the water so I can operate it freely! Maybe I should have kept my transom mount and never should have bought this pain in #@*&# you where!
Just getting fustrated with the whole thing!

Take the top off and adjust it so the pedal is neutral position and the motor is straight forward, Everytime you spin the head in the mount itself it also causes the motor to turn... My cable runs out the front just because, I had to adjust the pedal accordingly, If i mount it like it is suppose to with the cable straight back, I would have the same problem you have, I dont believe the motor is the probelm, you just have to get it adjusted...

Lower it down in the mount so it is almost touching the ground, maybe it will clear the trailer then so you can play with it a bit...

On a side note, I adjusted mine so it uses the back 2/3 of the motion mostly instaed of the center, was more comfy for me that way, I just have to use the front side mostly to spin it around backwards for reverse...
