[QUOTE="turbotodd, post: 346145, member: 7376"] Only thing I can think of that can bend either one of those is obstructions...like either the cable end or the link hitting the transom, fuel filler neck, tree, etc. Beyond that, I can honestly say I've never seen one bend-ever. I have bent one myself (the cable end...with the flat part) at the lake on a brand new boat that was sold, by using the jackplate to lower the engine while it was turned full left/cable fully extended and the end hit the top of the filler neck and bent it. Also bent up the filler neck. Embarassing to admit it, but the old saying is "learn from your mistakes" or something like that. I should be a genius by now. Unfortunately (or fortunately?) I'm not that gifted. [/QUOTE]
