It is on a pivot.

If I could verify that the motor board is on a swivel then I would place a board lined with a felt strip on it across the BACK of the motor board and give a few swift blows with the mallet to see if I can loosen it. Perhaps someone who owns an XVII can verify that the motor board swivels on a pivot just to the rear of its center so I don't do any damage.
