I own the same Motor. No you cannot tighten the screw enough to keep the
enging from pivoting. I already tried this. I am contemplating ways to
attach the rudder and motor together. I experimented by moving the motor
with the rudder together and it is much more responsive. I know there was a
discussion a while back on how to do this. Any suggestions out there?
