The Mount for my Ultrex

[pajoe329]

My Ultrex mount seems to be awful hard to pull to unlock to get the motor up out of the water , have to give it a hard tug , is there an adjustment or does it need to have something replaced or something is getting ready to break , To deploy to put in water no problem , hate to take it off for warrenty , help

You probably have a twist in the mount from overtighting the mounting screws. This could be from the deck of your boat having a slight curve built into it. Try to determine which side is giving you the problem and loosen the screw that is nearest that screw. It would be either the front left or right screw. Loosen a little then check. Repeat until it is smooth. A spacer may need to be added to keep things tight.

To add to the above, when deployed, look at the arm and you'll probably see it over to one side, or against the motor rest rails. This would indicate a mount that is in a twist.

I had this problem for about 30 days, then decided to shoot some spray lithium grease on locking mechanism. Works great now

That seems like it could be the problem the locking mechanism since I've been trying to figure it out checking out for a slight curve , cause it seems a little stiff pulling the cord and seems at times it's not locking when I pull it out of the water at times , probley something stupid .
