My ski tow pylon is completely stuck. It is one that raises for use and then you can twist and lower it down into the deck of the boat. It is stuck about halfway down extremely tight. I sprayed it with CorrosionX and let it sit over night. It still won"t budge. Anyone have this happen and what did you do to get it loose?
Thanks!:confused:

Re: Stuck!!!

Can you get a pipe wrench on it and get it to turn while pulling up? Sounds like the locking cam at the bottom is seized or the shaft is bent and jammed into place.

may have twisted or kinked on the way down one end is lower then the other causing it to jam up

I will try a pipe wrench. I tried tapping gently with a rubber mallet. Didn't budge from that.
