Welcome to the raise the gear to high club.
My inlaws were nice enough to move my rig several months ago ad did not know about not raising the gear all the way and sheared the pin in both landing legs.
When we took the apart we found the sheared pin and a very dry set of gears.
Since then we have made a "red line" on the gear to help us remember to not raise the gear to high.
In case anyone cares the mini fuse holder for the landing gear will take a normal size fuse with a bit of extra help and they are easier to find in most stores.. Oh yes we used the shear pins from an ouboard motor and they took a bit of filing as they were a bit long but the are better suited than the steel pins installed as OEM.
