I have a motorcraft trolling motor with a quick release. Well, it's not so quick for me. I am reasonably sure that I am doing something wrong. Any help?

Re: motorcraft quick release for trolling motor

Do you mean a Motorguide trolling motor?

Are you talking about the quick release to deploy the TM, or the quick release to remove the TM from the boat?

From the release to put it in the water? Is it the type that has the pull rope to release it?

A picture would be helpful.

I think she wants to take the TM off the boat, grub. I am not familiar with the MG QRs.

If it is the release that attaches it to your boat, and yours is the same as mine... I feel your pain. I don't take my motor off of my boat that much, but when I do it's always a little fight. Taking it off isn't that bad, but putting it back on can be aggravating some times.

does yours have the little knob at the back of the motor that screws up and down, if it does I'll take some pics of mine and hopefully show you how to do it.

Click to expand...

Where are the pics and instructions? I'm interested too.

12. Please do not post to threads that have been inactive for more than 3 months UN-LESS you are the original poster. We have very active forums and any thread that remains inactive for that long should be considered "dead". It is especially confusing when there is an entirely new question posted to an old thread. This is considered a hijack. Please start a new thread of your own.
