Stab into 5ft of h2o=broken stuff

Dang.
So does this coupler have reverse threads or what? It kicked my butt last night trying to get it off. Have to take it to a friends to help hold it down while trying to turn it to get it off.

Coupler has been on the motor since the birth of the 1994 WaveRaider it came out of.
I can't believe the hull is not damaged or leaking. The bondrail was already smashed off from the last bottom drilling incident so there was nothing to 'give' this time but the guts. Hull looks the same. Battery box cracked also. I'm a slow learner.
Worst part is this happened off the very first decent wave I saw in the first 2 minutes of getting out to the break. :banghead: Heard we had good waves that day. I only saw 1. :frown:

Are you sure the coupler is reverse threads? I thought I remembered only the impeller being reverse threaded.
I've taken off couplers before. Was I not paying attention? :dunno:

is NOT reverse threads..i just took one off on saturday..coil some rope in the front cyl and so the piston wont top out and use a big breaker bar and put it between the coupler...

Coupler = Standard Threads

I did that last night....used a 4ft bar & compressed the rope and the crank turned. :bigeyes: I stopped because I don't want to crack the head's dome or damage the pistons's needle bearings with that much force.
Will try a chain wrench to hold the flywheel at friends house and use little more heat on the coupler.

that's why you should just never do nose stabs again.

get inverted instead! :smile:

I know. :banghead: I was going for a roll and did not commit at the top of the wave. I seem to forget to do the left preturn and roll to right. Need to throw my weight staight to the side insted of forward & side.

That is my problem every time I get up to the wave. Need to break myself of it. So hard though.

I stab & roll to the right and I'm right handed.
I can turn motorcycles & skis better to the left though. Guess I need to watch more yamasaki vids & try harder. :biggthumpup:

LOL, yeah, thats crazy. I cant even imagine trying to roll or stab to right. :barrel:

I've been noticing that I ride a skateboard and snowboard regular foot, yet feel more comfortable goofy foot while in surf stance...

Nope, just got done doing three of these recently. Both couplers are regular thread and tighten each other under load as the motor turns. The load on the prop is effectively reverse and so are the threads. I'm pretty sure anyways....

Haha good luck swinging both ways this weekend :crutches:
