squeaking gator mount

[sodaksker]

My trolling motor mount squeaks whenever I apply the power to it. The mount seems tight.  Any ideas or advice.

My last Gator Mount squeaked like there was no tomorrow.  Unless it's just worn out, you can oil the pivot points and the pins that go through it. (one time it was the plastic collar that held the shaft)  I had to do that about every year, until I finally wore it out and got another.  They are like anything mechanical, they need up keep.

flech,

Thanks for the tip.
