So i'm going to try to explain this bear with me and if you have further questions I will gladly respond...

Every time I hit the pedal to run the motor the trolling motor "jumps" just a little bit. Not all the way like if the latch isnt secure but just a little jerk. It makes the motor very noisy because it does it every time i am going above about 20 on the speed dial. I do not know how to make this stop. I have a 65lb minn kota maxxum that does the exact same thing only worse. It certainly doesnt make it unusable but its a loud enough clanking noise to make me feel like i have no stealth unless i'm moving at snails pace. I am hoping it is just something I can tighten or easily replace. Any ideas on what is causing this and how to fix it would be awesome. Thanks in advance!
