Hi all! I need help. So I've owned mine SW26 for roughly a month, with probably 10-15 runs on it. KFX guy has helped me a ton. I put a new setup consisting of:
Neucastle 1415
Seaking 120a
CNC prop
So yesterday I brought it over to by my brothers so he could test drive it, well I developed my own rule of only driving the boat when there is wind, as I do not have a recovery method as of yet(soon to be a second boat). Well it was my luck that the SW went dead in the water in the middle of the pond near a fountain. The fountain ripples push it closer but was too far. I was VERY tempted to go in for but opted to not. After waiting an hour, the sun went down. I ate dinner, went to Walmart and looked for options. Turn in to me buying a hoola-hoop and 100ft of rope and more or less lasso'd the boat back on. I got a chance to take a look at the boat this evening, it appears to the flex shaft seized in the the stuffing. I greased it for every outing, maybe I should've done ever run.
Went to pull the prop and flex shaft out, out came the prop and the end of the shaft, while the rest of it is stuck in the stuffing tube.
I know the tube is glued in, this is my first boat so bare with me. How the heck do I replace this thing?
