How the heck did you break your pole doing straight wide open runs???? :shrug:

 

[Shonuff]

I never liked that pole anyway.

Congrats.

Do you know what time it is?


Time to get a new pole. Well count your blessings, it didn't sink.

Tell us more about your motor, please.

DammitCliff -that sucks

Nice clean break. There are easier ways to shorten a pole you know.

Glad to hear it's RIPPIN the way you want!!! I know how it feels to finally arrive!!! It's all about the COMPLETE package, if you don't do it all-don't do it at all.

Bring it up...I'll fix it!

I just looked at that pic again....it looks like your pole came out instead of breaking!!

Does this apply to rolls as well?oke::biggthumpup::chairshot::wiggle:

 

[Big Kahuna]

yup, it came out. easy fix and it will be shortened about 1.5"

 

[Dustin Mustangs]

That's what I was thinking. It's not broke, it's begging to be shortened.

Yep! That's what your ski was saying to you! "Shorten my handpole NOW!"

It is that jetworks power. He just grabbed a handful and it pulled it right out.

When you redo it use stainless nuts and bolts. Works like a dream and will never loosen up. There are quite a few on here (including me) that used them works 100%

i had already shortened it 2.5 inches. guess it will be another inch or so shorter till i can do better. will try bolts this time, the rivets just didnt hold up

If you just use rivets.....you need some good ol' adhesivo! Stainless steel bolts and nuts are the shiznit tho! :hail:

Is the pole cracked anywhere at the bottom? Was it epoxied in? Cant you just put it back in, bolt it and epoxy it and call it good if you don't want to go shorter??

Mine ripped out like that, it was never epoxied in from the previous owner. I had to shorten mine a little more because the cut he had made was pretty hacked up looking.

Some details on the motor please?
