I've got a Minn Kota Terrova and the handle release is sticky and not always engaging when I press it. It take 2 or 3 presses to deploy and stow. Pain in the butt when I'm also dealing with 3-4 footers. I've taken off the side plates and it doens't seem like anything is out of wack, 1 semi stretched out spring maybe. I'll clean and re grease the moving parts.
Any thoughts on why this could be?
