Oops - correction of my previous post.. I got the ropes backwards. Looking down at the motor with the pool stretching behind me and to my left. The rope wrapped on the left side of the shaft is for the rope in the track on the right side of the pool - it winds over the shaft toward me. The rope wrapped on the right side of the shaft (the one that I had to untangle) is for the rope in the track on the left side of the pool- it winds over the shaft away from me. Are they suppose to wrap in opposite directions?
