Ipilot Locking Mech Broken....fixing it?????

[KAG]

The unit deployed after hitting a huge wave and the part pictured is broken. So it neither completely locks not deploys straight anymore. Where can you buy replacement parts and how hard to fix????

first time this has ever happened in the 3 years owning. Before anyone says it, from now on I will use a small bungie cord to further secure during rough water

Just a follow up.....called Jones Trolling Motor shop and got the parts ordered. About $120 to self repair. I will be mounting a TM lock

Ouch that bites , I have a bungee on mine but I'll be making sure I use it on the water too

Ok fixed it.

About $120 and less than an hour work....painful lessen and I have hooked a bungie on it now.
