Quoted from Antennaejim:It always sets to the home position correctly. That is not the issue I took it apart last week and corrected that problem. Is there another switch on it that I am missing?
Do you have the manual for the game? they have a decent tear apart of it. I am "fairly"? certain there were 2 switches, did you remote the entire motor and deez from the game?
my old no real info, but i have the page in manual of it
Quoted from Antennaejim:Yes I have taken the asembly completely out. And only one physical switch. I removed the switch today and noticed a crack on the plastic casing and a leg was loose so I replaced the home switch this evening and everything seems to be working ok for the moment I will report back after a few dozen games to see if this did the trick.
oh dang, so there is only one. Okay cool. I googled the issue and when I fixed mine, I found others with the same issue and the same switch was broke. Hope this is your fix!! 
Quoted from Antennaejim:Yep fixed it for a very short time I will double check the connections bit this is strangely intermittent
Hmmm You could check continuity of the two wires on that switch back to the head/board. And wiggle wires to see if there is an internal break?
Did you verify the software version of your game?
I know my 1st waterworld I was able to update it. I don't remember having this issue often after fixing the switch......but it has been some years 
I did all my rom purchases through John Wart or PBR
Quoted from Antennaejim:I just placed an order with pbr today. I will get them in a week or 2. Chips that is
They have a newer version then what is installed?
Quoted from surfsidedetail:Did this ever get solved? We have a water world and have changed the switch and the deez is flakey
did you check your optos?
