That just didn't sound right to me so I sent them an email asking if that is true. I've had excellent response from Power Pole on two other emails I've sent them with questions about the Move. Here is the response to my question regarding the above:
" When the lift cable is pulled, the motor does not stop until it is slightly greater than 50% stowed.
I just tested it and if you are wanting to pull it up / partially stow a little bit to get in skinnier water/ retrieve a hung up bait- the motor would still operate given you have not stowed it past a certain degree.
There is a sensor in the head that determines when the motor stops based on the degree/tilt of the navigation head."
