• That new carpet looks great.  Did you do the job or have it done?

  I was thinking the same thing. Only I was more concerned with it whacking the hull and marking up the glass.
  
  Not sure about MG trolling motors, but with MK motors, the hard rubber section at the top of the wire and cable harness (where it enters the TM head) has grooves in it that work perfectly for wedging the rope into while running to keep it from flying around. I'll post a pic in a different post.
