With the Perko Switch (1, 2, All, Off) in the Off position, is there any battery drain occuring with the wires connected to the batteries? I have been disconnecting the wires from boat batteries when the boat is not in use, even just for overnight. Am I being too cautious? Thanks.

Already tried that. Put it in a vice and attempted to bend it in the opposite direction but it would not straighten out. Seems to be pretty tought tubing.

Raised the mast for the first time this season and found the support post is bent enough to create much difficulty when moving the mast end back to line up with the step. :( Any suggestions on straightening the post?
