******* engineers eh? I'm going to leave the engineer out of the equation and let the mechanics and machinists have at her. @kanuckle head
Yep I am same. I am the guy between the engineer and machinist ,and all hands on with own equipment. Draw it, weld it, build it etc, calculate it. Not the theory guy but understand the other stuff the higher engineers do, and had to implement it.
We will see. I will post back with results and I hope we can fix this
i saw a post somewhere that a person had taken some sched 80 pvc pipe and made a collar.. crush proof and cheap.
Yeah I dunno, I'm not sold. That entire bottom half of that spool is not good enough. Gonna delete some things and get it down to a stainless plate and some plastic that does wear out. We have a plan
Same for me. Counters and brake pads. A friend of mine does Scotty service in Hardy. He tuned them up for me last year. Great guy.
I’ve had mine since 1991 using them 100 plus days a year and never replaced a spool yet
I’ve had mine since 1991 fishing 100-130 days a year up until 2019 and never replaced a spool unless Scotty did when servicing them. 15 lb balls and steel wire mostly.
They don't make em like they used to!
I had some older ones too, never had issue with, from the mid nineties, when I bought my wellcraft it came with newer ones, so sold my old ones for 250$ a piece, big mistake lol, the newer ones seem to always need attention, they are pretty basic to service, but definitely not built like the older ones
Simplicity in its design but the problem is 100pecent solved. Scotty's flaw in there design can be easily rectified but a new mold will be required. That weak point may not falter on 15lb balls but eventually will still be a weak area, lacking in material and too sharp of a inside corner
I'll take my influencer/ambassador package, whenever.
