I just got these and they are really hard to get to work right. You have to hammer them hard with your feet to get them to work, plus you have to hit them twice to get them to go down. My buddy has power poles and says his are much easier. is there a adjustment or something I can do to make them more user friendly?

Make sure you have the latest software update and the batteries are good. Even with that I have to hit mine multiple times sometimes to get them to deploy or retract. Other times they work flawlessly. It seems better after I use them the first time each day. Wish Minn Kota would fix this. Love how they hold but the stomp switches need improvement.
