Need help guys! I have a new Motor Guide FW54 Bow Mount motor. The steering is way too loose! When I pull the rope up to swing it in the water, the head spins around. When I go to retrieve the motor, the head does not align with the mount unless I keep my foot on the pedal in the exact position....It stinks!!! This is my third MG and I never had trouble with the other two models. This one has the breakaway mount whereas the other two had just the standard mounts. I looked at the manual and no instructions for this model, only the ES Tour model had info on adjusting steering control. The Motor Guide web site has no email address and there are no service centers in Massachusetts. You folks are my only hope. Any help appreciated, you folks are great. Wally
