posted by: XERO. Wow - three quick fixes. That's how these forums should always work. I should have mentioned that the ring may break because its plastic, but a new one is only a couple of bucks. I also found a metal replacement ring for just a little more but I'll wait until my plastic ring breaks again.

Thanks!

XERO Said:
There is a ring adjustment on the steering arm shaft at the front of the motor. It looks like a ring with a cam on it. Just loosen the screw and rotate it and you'll see the trim guage move.

Thanks from me too! I have been waiting to learn how to fix mine as well!

posted by: walynut. All to familiar with the all mighty BFH and if that dont work get a bigger BFH!!! LOL Thats the "wrench" coming out in me!

Yes it is off by a qtr to the "right" per say.

I was reading on another site that there is a screw towards the front of the engine ect but I can not relate to the instructions they are giving. I pulled the manual up on-line but they only talk about the digital gauges and this is a manual one.

Heading up tonight to the lake so I suppose I will take a couple screw sticks up and tinker with it while out fishing.

By the way, has anyone seen two of my fishfinders? I put them away this winter and Iwill be darned if I can find them. They are both 700 series humminbirds so if you run across them let me know!!! LOL CRS kickin' in!

posted by: StevePike. It sounds like you are off 1/4 both ways towards centered. Is there some way to adjust the "range" (for lack of the correct term).

posted by: Mr. Mike. I'm sure there probably is an adjustment. I will look at mine this weekend and if I can figure it out, get back to you. Of course you could always resort to the BFH and wack it a quarter turn! ; ) BFH is a Big F&*^%&G# Hammer!
