    Please Stop Me! Motor alignment

    I now have forcibly turned the bottom motor half of my MotorGuide Saltwater 50 lb. thrust trolling motor. And I'm about to do it again. Why forcibly?

    Filling Bolt Holes

    I was hoping to at least fill one of the upper holes to see how it goes. First time at this, and time wasn't on my side today. Then I thought better, and didn't want to spoil the mixer nozzle after doing just one fill. So I finished with the beveling at ends of each hole, all sanding and...

    Not Seized!..Good. No Start, Bad :-(

    ----------- (( apologies for the word count to follow!!)) Engine; Yamaha Sport 50, 2-stroke. L or FL series? from year 1999. This could be your "cookie cutter" opening to an issue. "I've tried everything! I've done everything right" and "The engine won't start!" Well, pretty much all true...
