    Take the Ultrex off the mount and look at what is called the "links" (plastic side pieces that the steering module clips to). Also, while off, partially deploy the mount and see if you can twist the arm. If so, the pivot bushings are probably bad. These are like the Fortrex and located in the rear/pivot area of the mount, accessable by removing the side plates.

    Mine doing the same thing after only 5 or 6 fishing outings. My pivot bushings cannot be worn out. It is just one of those things that I put up with that is not perfect.

    Men does the same, and it is not bushings. I used to use the dry WD40 for my Fortrex so it wouldn't drip all over, and I plan on trying it on my Ultrex.
