Cisco electronics mount

I need some help. I have two of these things and neither work for me. Maybe I’m doing something wrong. When I want to swivel the units I attempt to lift them straight up while turning them. I’m 225lbs and when standing straight over the top of them I can’t budge them. Nothing, nada, not a bit, either one of them. How do I make them swivel side to side?

Get a bigger hammer.

Seriously though, there’s nothing more frustrating than when something that seems so simple just won’t work. In these cases I just don’t care if I look like a dumbass for asking.

Sorry I can’t help.

Well I didn’t know I was looking like a dumbass for asking but………ya, i’ll wear it if I get an answer that fixes the problem.

I didn’t want to imply that you do, I feel like it sometimes, and sound like it.

Does the lever have to be unlocked to turn it?

They make 2 different models, the Sure-Lok and the Tilt-Lok. The Tilt-Lok do not swivel after they are installed, are you sure that you have the Sure-Lok?

I don’t think so. I tried that and nothing happened.

Pretty sure I have the one that swivels, I took it back to SBC and they got it to work. In fact it worked for me ONCE. Now, nothing again. I’m sure there are more important things in life, however when I’m trying to adjust the damn things I can’t think of any.

See what I mean. I’ve been there. Sleep on it and try it again tomorrow.

Can you take some pics of the mounts?

Boat is at the lake. I’m going later this week will shoot you a couple then.

The swivel Lock on the cisco mounts pull strait up, once you have them up you turn it in the direction you want it to go. its an inter locking key system that will lock back into place after it is turned into the direction you want it to go and the pressure is released from pulling up on the electronic mount. Think of each side like inter locking teeth they will not turn unless the are pulled completely away from one another.
