Fitting a power handle

[Whaler]

I thought i'd give it a go as it is about the only one Reefman has not done YET!

Firstly you need a desent drill, a 2mm bit and a 6mm bit.

Also some locktite,

Fit the old handle to a vice and drill the poprivet through,

 

[Whaler]

when this is done, enlarge the hole with a 6mm drill and fit the new knob, you need 2 screwdrivers one on each side to lock the knob in place, some locktite helps as the last thing you want is the knob falling of when you are playing a fish(ask trophy).

Question - do I get that specific type of power handle from you & what's the cost involved?

That looks great. Something to look at to upgrade my Saltist 40, 50 and my TRINI40

Guys

Please remember the locktite! the new knobs with the allen keys are better but still  need the locktite!!!

@Whaler

Those knobs look the bomb. Just a question. The knobs are supplied with two steel washers. Does smaller one goes at the screw head and the bigger one on the other side of the handle itself?

ie screw head, small washer, handle, bigger washer, knob.

Hope that makes sense.

Thanks
