      Could be the extension cable?

      Could be - but this problem is on a lot of boats, not just mine. So I doubt it. It seems more like a software issue

      Putting the boat not the cradle of our floe VSD something snapped and the cradle now sits uneven on the frame. The lift goes up and down without issues the cable and pills seem to be functioning fine. The cradle does not lift evenly. Thoughts?  Trouble shooting help?

      It should be relatively simple to check for things like broken bolts or maybe even broken brackets.

    • I was after the makita or dewalt corded one. They bought me the cordless one for Father’s Day. Had a hard time telling them it wasn’t the one I wanted, so here we are. 🤷‍♂️

      Update - when I plug the new one in it did the exact same problem. So, I dunno. It’s a bad design.

      When I went through and detailed my boat with heavy oxidation I bought one of these, And got the 3M Heavy cut with a white twisted wool pad from lakeside and it cut through the oxidation like crazy! Then used my orbital with the different pads and cutting compounds to cut trough the swirls and then buff and shine the gel coat, a lot of steps but should net you the results your after. IMO for the price of this 7" polisher you cant beat it unless you plan on starting a detailing business this is more than enough.
