Took mine apart...(wasn't bent real bad)...drove over to a muffler shop and they straightened it out for me for $15.00 and ten minutes...

Bent mine bad one time! Had to have it replaced for around $100.00. Saved the house boat trip and was worth the Money. Took about Three hours for the dealer to get it done. Greg has the way to go if that will work. Mort

Yeah but...the only fall-out from the muffler shop repair of my trolling motor is that now...every time I step on the pedal...it makes a "putt-putt-putt" sound...those muffler guys...LOL

Thanks for the Info, i decided to tackle the project myself, I got it apart and ordered all the parts direct from Motor Guide today, Parts with Shipping was only $90.00, I was very surprised at this.

again thanks!!!!!!!



P.S. I kept the old shafts might take them to a muffler shop like suggested and keep them for spares
