I think he's still standing in the garage with the hack saw in his hands, palms sweaty, and too scared to move.
I got the Terrova 80# , but it hasn't come in yet. Minnkota engineer said cutting is no big deal, but, yeah I'll prolly stand there with the saw for a long while before workin' up the courage to cut it! Gonna mount it first and see if I can live with the length. Bigger has the same boat as me, and after seeing his, which is 6" shorter, I'm prolly gonna be cuttin out 'bout a foot.
How much for auto pilot on that unit?
Would a pipe cutter or tubing cutter work? If so you would not run the risk of nicking or cutting a wire. Would be a nice even cut too.
Now G3 you know that is gettin too technical for Feelay. He isnt used to fancy tools. I'm just sayin!
Well...I thought I would just bring up the pipe cutter idea before Wannabe came in here with a real bunch of technical jargon, Lol. :D
I got the 54" and was thinkin bout cuttin a foot or so off mine.
Ill get right on it!
I have cut one of those composit shafts before just not this pricey of one.
Mr Jim you have got the right idea. It is no problem to cut the shaft will a pipe cutter but drilling the hole was the hard part.
