Shopping for new Trolling Motor

spoke to MK tech support today to ask them if they knew of a "fix" and I was told that the "push in/push down" is a safety feature to prevent accidental deployment. It's pretty obvious that I am the problem and I just need to perfect my methods. I'm guessing that to deploy, if I would use my right foot to catch the indentation and push in, then press down immediately, and use my left hand to grab the shaft or head, it would deploy fine. To stow, I should probably use my left foot to push in, then down and use my right hand raise the shaft and stow it. BTW, I was also told that the Ulterra is only available for freshwater at this time, but they expect to soon have a saltwater version.

Damn, I sound like an engineer.
