Dwight They also make Blue ones identical to the red one. I have used for years - but always the 8 inch version. Works great for me. the fiam is likely the floatation Mike

But I have 2 Titans on board, one that I had never used until today, a red handle and it is completely different than my reliable blue Titan winch handle. Construction is totally different. I now view the red one as junk and a safety hazard to boot. It flexed like you would not believe under light load and flew out of my hand after which or before which I am not actually sure things happened so fast, the locking mechanism broke free and the thing went flying out of my hand, like as if it was spring loaded because it more or less was. The bottom plastic cove piece fell off during this event and all I could see inside was some foamed material. If there is a piece of metal under that foam that runs the length of the handle that piece is very small and not very stiff. Is this thing a cheap knockoff using the Titan name or has Titan resorted to making a cheaper junk product. It seems you need to be careful when buying something with the name Titan on a winch handle. Have a close look at what you have because they can become flying objects under loaded circumstances.

Do the indicator lights on the 'dash' light up? I know on my 2qm, I can turn off the ignition and the engine runs, but the tach doesn't work, but the lights do work. Start at the back of the dash - unfortunately if yours is like mine, there are a bunch of wires led into bundles and some of those don't do anything. You should be able to see the wire out of the tach. It could be the rpm sensor on the flywheel as well.

The tach is no longer registering rpm. Not sure if this is an electrical (ie loose wire) or whether it simply wore out. Any suggestions on diagnosing? Second question-- I am going to install a bimini, , one connection to the coaming on each side. Any thoughts on whether I have to put a backing plate under the coaming( is there access)? or can I just screw into the coaming?? Thanks for any suggestions.
