A boating buddy,sleekcraft76,has installed two manual place diverters on two different boats during the past year and both of them are very hard to raise and lower. One is very hard and the other is very,very hard. We disassembled one of them this past weekend and checked for binding and twists and any other restriction and found none. Has any of you had this problem and does anyone know what could be causing the problem? We considered that there might not be enough leverage on the diverter arm. :idea:
