          That sure made me laugh. It is so true.

            Is that the spring in the back that pulls the leg to starboard?

              No there isn’t any spring, it is a good size bulge in the tower between the tilt quadrant arms.

                I believe there’s a coil spring in there – give me a second, I think I posted pics of mine last year.
