drive rubbing - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

TJones · 02-05-2013, 03:37 PM

it is pretty obvious in picture. at least 1 mm gap. and of course noticeable slop in drive mechanism .that might be why i am having contact on side of drive bay. my drive is a 2010 and i think i did not lube the shaft until recently. when i took the yak out , it would be for long hours on water . i probably should have broken it down and lube it more often . i might just pick up a new drive and then start rebuilding this one as a backup . anyone else have any opinions ?

Yeah... just buy two new drums and an axel. It will take 10 minutes to replace. Why spend $500 on a drive?

Also, since you have this problem. I wouldn't be surprised if the shaft running through your fins has a lot of wear on them too.

I take apart and clean my drives once a month.

Which do you prefer?

Preventative Maintenance:

The care and servicing by personnel for the purpose of maintaining equipment and facilities in satisfactory operating condition by providing for systematic inspection, detection, and correction of incipient failures either before they occur or before they develop into major defects.

Corrective Maintenance:

Corrective maintenance is a maintenance task performed to identify, isolate, and rectify a fault so that the failed equipment, machine, or system can be restored to an operational condition within the tolerances or limits established for in-service operations.

Or you can sell that drive to me cheap. I'll slap on a new set of drums in 15 min and have a like new drive.
