Location: Kodiak, AK | You don't even need to do that...if you lock it in place and the green light goes out, it's locked as it ever will be. Of the two accidental deployments I personally know of, neither was fully locked and they deployed. I use one because it does bounce like hell while even in a moderate chop. I see it just like a transom saver...yeah, the TM pad is reinforced to hold the TM, but that bouncing gets pretty bad and I don't want all of that vibration going right into the front of my boat 5 days a week all season long. I like having it "settled down" and not going nuts either in the water or on the trailer. |
