I am guessing you bought this used otherwise it would be a simple return to the place you purchased it.
no its about 10 years old and i had to replace the head 3 times already because it hangs off the side the boat too far. i try to be careful with it but sooner or later stuff happens and its just hanging out side the boat a good foot at least
when i bought it, all i can guess is, the 50" shaft was the short version since i bought it for a flatboat.
whatever the way it happened, im stuck with it now and spending $1,000 to buy another one vs cutting the shaft shorter, im cutting the shaft.
my plan is to slide a smaller pipe inside to protect the wires as i cut, then cut around the outside just enough to get through rather then cutting straight across it. if its hardened steel as i suspect im probably going to end up using around $30 worth of sawzall blades to do it.
just was hoping/fishing for any better ideas
