- I'm sure a lot of you have been out on the water and have found plastic pieces on your deck after raising or lowering your trolling motor. Then after that your trolling motor wobbles in the mount or feels like its binding in the mount when deploying or retracting. After a few cycles up and down it goes smooth again and is even more wobbly in the mount. In this video I'm going to show you how to fix that.

Appreciate the insight. Just knocked this out on my ULTREX. You’re the man!
Great vid. My pivot holder screws had red locktite. Had to drill them out. Started with a 3/16 pilot hole around 1/8 deep then used a 1/4 to shear the head of the screw.
You are killing me laying that stuff on your boat like that. I would have a stoke if that was my boat lol!
Laying this stuff on the boat isn't hurting a thing. You do more damage to your carpet jumping in and out of the boat at the boat ramp with gravel and dirt in your shoes. It's not the Mona Lisa it will be fine hahaha.
Job well done. A little reel magic helps keep bushing from sqeaking.
Thanks. Mine were squeaking because they were busted. Reel magic won't help that.
I’d lay a towel on boat but good video!
Thanks Josh! Great how to video!🤙
You're welcome glad you enjoyed it
What's up brother. What Dobyns rod do you use for topwater walking baits?
I actually use the Colt 734 for my walking baits.
I saw someone else that replaced everything. Is there any reason to change all the components instead of just the plastic bushings?
I would say no. If there is no worn or broken pieces I'd leave them.
Great video, I saw your post on instagram and I have this same problem and didn’t realize it.
I was also on ruff water and my motor deployed, luckily it didn’t fully drop and came back on the deck
Where can I buy this replacement bushings?
Well glad I could help point you in the right direction for the issue. Mine is back to nice and smooth again. I got my bushings from a local repair shop. Otherwise when I googled them there were a lot of stores that came up even amazon and ebay.
Just did the repair, why did you need to remove the 1/2” pin?
What is that light under the front of the motor mount?
It's an LED light from RIGID. They work really good at night if you launch before the sun comes up. Got this one for a good deal so couldn't pass it up.
