Thread: Terrova Shaft Support ?

Believe it or not that's exactly where I was. Brought home 5 nice ones, lost 3 nice ones, 2 throw backs and broke a brand new Denalli tip. Heck of a day and it got hot in a hurry. I thought about that slug being a trip hazard and that strap under foot. You can get a low profile bracket that looks like a screen door handle, mount it and run strap under it. Then at least you could remove strap. Mine luckily is up out of the way. And believe it or not that support that close to motor stops almost 90% of the bounce I had in that long shaft and don't have to worry about it deploying on its own.

Here is mine....strap and base plate is not in way at all when TM is deployed
