Hey rob,if ya need a temp motor I have my old motor giude 48# you could use.It's in my garage collecting dust.Is the motor you are talking about one of the digital ones?When I got my new one from jay(minn kota maxum 80)he steared me away from the ones without cable stearing for just that reason.Let me know if ya need it and you know I'm usually home any time. swampy
