Silencing a MK Fortrex?? - 09/15/21 06:15 PM
Not intending to start a MK vs MG vs Brand X debate. I have a 3 year old, 112lb Fortrex and am sticking with it. Prior TM was a MG Tour Edition so I am learning the new-to-me brackets/mounting system, prop, etc. My observation so far is the motor isn't exactly quiet. Shaft isn't bent and prop is just fine. Lots of creaking and grinding with normal usage. Are there any little tweaks I can apply to help lessen some of the noise? Specific spots to tighten and/or loosen? Soak the whole thing in PB Blaster? Thanks in advance for the ideas! (I'm ready for the "it'll be much quieter when you throw it in the trash and buy a ghost" comments)
