Re: Shortening a Werner paddle jkodadek New

	I shortened a paddle once by cutting in half at the middle....cut/take off wanted amount to desired length....insert wood dowel that fits tight and inserts about 3 or 4 inches inside the shaft on both sides of cut....set to preferred off-set....wrap in kevlar cloth at the cut seam....used vinylester resin.  I guess you could even make it into a breakdown with a kit (I think they used to make such a kit somewhere??) but I found the wood dowel set-up I used was bombproof solid.

me too-it was easy SwimmerBill New

I was thinking more along the lines of removing a blade, shortening shaft, reattaching blade jkodadek New

you'd have to remove both blades though. Elvez New

technically, it was only 3cm longer jkodadek New

I wouldn't do that... booneboaterboy New

agree: dont do it that way SwimmerBill New

Don't be tempted to use PVC pipe as a ferrule natebone New
