Fixing mag drive shaft.

[Scribe]

So the shaft of my mag drive broke. I want to superglue it to try to get it running until I can get a replacement part shipped. Trying to figure out if I can glue the prop to the shaft. The shaft I think will be pretty flimsy if I glue that. It broke right above the propeller. Any suggestions?

I've tried the super glue before, didn't help much. The shaft is there to keep er straight, super glue it in hopes it just gets you a few more days.

Super glue seemed to work, but its real loud. I'm sure it's not lined up perfectly. I'm going to try to run it for a hour or so each day to try to get some skimming in until the part arrives.

Yea thats the trick. It keeps it straight, and sometimes it'll just get ya by in emergency.

Did you try turning the shaft around? Sometimes if you can get the break inside of the impellar it will hold steady enough to run for a few weeks without ruining the magnet.

Trido I did not try that. I'll give it a shot. Thanks
