    Detwiler Jack Plate Issue

    Guys I need help. I have the exacto dial. I noticed some issues with it going up and down. I took a look and the machine screws that hold the sender switch in the jackplate are gone and its just sitting there. Does anyone know what size threads and length of screw I need to get it fixed? I have a tourny coming up in a week and need it working.

    Thanks,

    Jess

    If people concentrated on the really important things in life, there'd be a shortage of fishing poles.

    If your dial lasted six months that’s way better than the average.

    Get a up/down toggle switch and be done with it.

    Mine lasted 5 years but then the electronic control box went bad and would not go up and down anymore with the dial so rig it with a switch.

    So mine still works and I found the correct screws. Now it’s getting the dial lines back up to make it work. Has anyone ever done this before?
