As I said above when I get to trolling in anything better than a stiff breeze my bow-mount wants to lift up and down. What do you guys do to keep that motorhead down and steerable?

my Powerdrive used to do that because I bent the pin that holds it in place. I used to have to push up on the release lever to lock it in place. Not sure if that might be similar to your issue or not. I just got a Terrova in the fall so we will see how it goes.

Well, from everything I've read on other posts and what I've gotten from Minnkota. It needs to go in for a different spring, that being said I have to take it off the boat when the new spring gets here. This seems to be a common theme with the lift assist motors that are used for steering. I've also had it slide up when casting on the bow for bass in big waves.
