My drive cable touches the wall of the stuffing tube near the cable coupler. Ive done the search and see that some people reposition or cut the stuffing tube. I really dont want to break my boat up to do that because i got one of the few boats that dont leak. Can i recenter the motor by slotting the plate it bolts into? Has anyone tried this. Im talking about shifiting it not even 1/16" out of center. Also does adding the other turn fin really make a difference? Oh, are there battery tie downs to replace the stoock ones. They didnt come out too well to reposition them.

Thanks

Do a little research before you move it, i read somewhere that the angle was like that on purpose to counter act prop walk.

FIRST REMOVE YOUR FLEX CABLE. NEXT TAKE YOUR MOTOR AND COUPLER OUT. FINALLY INSERT A SMALL SCREWDRIVER IN THE STUFFING TUBE AND GENTLY PULL ON THE SCREWDRIVER BENDING THE BRASS TUBE IN THE DIRECTION YOU NEED TO RELIEVE THE FLEX CABLE. INSTALL EVERYTHING IN THE OPPOSITE ROUTINE.
I HAD TO DO THIS ON BOTH OF MY SV'S. :buttrock:
