Eqx900 Shaft, Where To Buy?

[steveg]

Airtimesa -- 

Since it sounds like you don't need the mounting pieces that are installed on the upper section of the 700/900 shaft, then I'm quite sure that I could provide you with a shaft that would work for you, though I'm not familiar with the "SeaGhost" setup you are talking about.

One thing I will say about the sand is that YES, it will wear things down (like sand paper), whether it's your TeleKnox shaft, or the stock Minelab shaft, or mine.  BUT -- while your lower rod may "lose diameter" over time due to the sand, you won't have the issue of the lower rod "falling off, " with one of my shafts, as the cam locks I use are ADJUSTABLE, in terms of clamping tension, via a thumb screw on the cam lock (see the attached picture; it's the screw on the right).  So, if your lower rod ends up reduced in diameter, such that the cam lock is no longer holding the lower rod securely, you simply tighten up that thumb screw a bit, which tightens the clamping tension.  In other words, how tightly the cam lock clamps to secure the lower rod, is FULLY user-adjustable.

I'm happy to help, if you decide you are interested.
