Trolling Motor Tension Knob

[Dropshot]

Anyone know where I can get one of these quickly? I need one for the older 2002 Motorguide 767. The one I have would not keep the shaft tight and slipped. After trying to tighten the last time the plastic stripped and came loose. Now the shaft has worked itself even looser and I have a tourney on the river Saturday.

I hope you get your knob in time. If not a bolt might get you by.
Also the root of your problem is the collar is not gripping the shaft tight enough. Try scuffing the inside of your collar with some coarse sandpaper and making sure the shaft is squeeky clean.
You may even want to shim the collar with some thin rubber, like a piece of an innertube. Good luck!

I finally drilled and tapped a hole in the collar and used a set screw. Later, I busted the useless handle off on one of my dam adventures emoBigsmile
