[QUOTE="LDUBS, post: 490187, member: 21536"] I think the V2 is the PowerDrive Model, which is what I have. If you don't move the depth collar up by the control head, you could have a very hard time deploying the motor. But, I don't think that is your problem because it would only happen once. Sometimes mine gets hung up. That usually happens when I'm a little too gentle pushing the deploy lever. When that happens I pull the shaft back with a quick jerk to make sure it is fully seated and the hook is back over the latch collar. Then I push down pretty hard and fast on the deploy assist lever. That pops the motor free and down she goes. There is an instruction for adjusting the latch collar, but I have no idea if that would be part of the issue. [/QUOTE]
