Thanks for some input guys. I can assure you my left arm has been getting a workout! Long runs suck, but hey no pain no gain lol.

I don't think the skeg is my problem. I think the swivel assembly is bent where the pwr head and the mounting braket meet. The motor looks tilted to one side when the motor is down. To me, it should be straight.

Anyone know how hard it is to get that bracket off to take a look at it?
