CLARIFICATION.
THIS 60 INCH UNIT WORKED FINE WHEN THE UNIT WAS TAKEN OFF THE BOAT IN APRIL BY THE MECHANIC. IT RAN FINE AND THE LOCK/UNLOCK UNIT WORKED FINE. I PURCHASED A ULTERRA DUE TO A SHOULDER INJURY. MY BOAT AND EQUIPTMNET IS TAKEN CARE OF AND ALWAYS STORED INDOORS.
HE CALLED ME AND SAID IT WAS TOO LONG AS HE HAD NOT MEASURED HIS BOAT. SO HIS FIX WAS TO CUT IT OFF THE SHAFT. NOW I DONT KNOW WHAT HAPPENED BETWEEN APRIL AND SEPTEMBER WITH THIS UNIT. BUT IT WORKED FINE WHEN IT WAS DELIVERED.
