The last 2 trolling motors i bought from minnkota were perfectly aligned already from factory.Granted its 2024 now so maybe tgey are pre aligning them at the factory now. Its crazy you would ever have to remove the head and adjust anything.Especially being brandnew. I could see if it was used and someone preferred the arrow a certain way and purposely changed it.
I'm aware the head turns...that wasn't the issue. The issue was the yellow arrow cap was installed incorrectly by the manufacture. So no mater how far I adjusted the head, the arrow and the motor direction never matched up. Removing the head top allowed me to lift the yellow cap, set it in the correct position, and match the motor direction.
