    Good video and other than the bottom of my hull being like that, that is exactly what I am fighting. It's not to the extreme of the person he was helping but a problem.

    Not sure if your model has 2 relays (1 up 1 down) but if it does swap it and see if it follows. That's how I determined mine when it stopped. Installed new relay good to go.
