Is there anything else I can try? Thanks.
Hello Lester, My Titan does that occasionally - and the culprit has always been my worm setting. Although I tend to "set and forget" the worms, they do occasionally get a bit clagged up - changes of season (heating/cooling metal parts changing the gaps a bit is a possible culprit. Also, not using the mount for a while may have seen the grease get a bit clagged up - perhaps a bit of sea air would aid that process.

Anyway, I have generally found that a worm rest did the trick. If you're doing that, you could take the opportunity to judge the state of the grease as well.
