I'm having a problem on my trolling motor :'( it's a 2003 motor guide freshwater. And when I step on the petal to turn left or right I can feel the gears or something slipping in side and it makes it very hard to turn and it is very annoying. Do any of yall know what the problem would be and how hard would it be to fix by my self. I would take it to go get fixed but there is only one motor guide service center. And they said it would cost me around $150-$200 and I really don't want to pay that. thanks for yalls help.

They are not very hard to work on. I would take the cover off the head of the unit and take a look. You should be able to see whats going on if it's a gear problem. If it is'nt its probably the cable. You can change the cable in about 1/2 hr with little more than a phillips screw driver.

were is the cabel. how much is a new cable and were can I get one and thanks for your help.

The cable runs from the foot control to the motor head. I can't remember what I payed last time but they are'nt expensive. I got mine from my local boat dealer, he keeps them in stock. If there is a bass boat dealer near you he should be able to hook you up

man thanks for all your help. Im sure there cheper than geting it sent off to get fixed.
