I had to replace my top shaft on my trolling motor and I got everything put back together but the steering cables wont tighten up. I had replaced a part several months ago and didnt have a problem with it. I backed the tension adjustment screw as far out as it would come out when I disassembled it. I tightened it all the way down and it looks like it may have atleast an inch of slack in it. Is there another way to tighten it up even more.

It isnt wrapped so that is a possibility. I have tried with the notches toward where the cable comes into the head to try and take out some slack but it was too short that way. Do you know which way the notches should point and which side of the cable is supposed to wrap? Thanks

I checked it and the adjustment tensioner wasnt adjusting all the way. I freed it up and looped it around so it is working now. Thanks J.
