I bought a brand new 1752 Weldbilt with a 70hp Yamaha 4stroke last July.I haven't used it much.About three weeks ago,I went fishing with my wife.We were idling and I hit a stump.After that,the boat was very hard to steer.I took it back to the dealer and he said I bent the bar the connects to the steering cable.He also said that was very rare for that bar to be bent.I paid 275.00 to replace the cable and bar.The second time I used it,I was idling and bumped several stumps.The bar bends again.This is supposed to be a duck boat.I ought to be able to hit a stump at idle speed without tearing anything up.It's back at the dealer now.So any ideas?They put the boats together themselves.The have. Hull and add steering wheel,gun box,etc...A duck boat and motor shouldn't bend the steering bar on every stump should it?I'm thinking maybe it's either a faulty part or they put the motor on wrong.If so,I want it fixed and my 275.00 back.It indeed I'm at fault,I'll pay for it and go on.It's a brand new boat and motor.I'm just very frustrated right now.I've had some other issues with the trolling motor coming loose and that's not fixed yet. How easy is it to bend that part?I've had several boats in the past and have never done that on any of them and they've been through some rough stuff.I like the rig overall,it's good for hunting and fishing,nothing fancy.I'm just tired of running back and forth to the dealer with a new boat.
