    I have a an auger flyte that is out of alignment....10" lazer blades won't cut at all anymore. I'm pretty sure the issue started with someone pushing down while drilling (despite being told not to). Does anyone know of anywhere local to get this sort of issue corrected? I imagine a jig and heat would be required to re-shape it correctly....

    Not doing this. I believe he's an engineer by trade. Could be wrong.

    I've seen him do a couple. I've also seen him assemble an entire gearcase of a outboard while I said 'hey Jim, hang on a minute while I grab the diagram from my truck." Lol, done before I got back.

    Does any one have a 10 inch newer flyte that I can borrow to make a jig? I have a few already to fix but need to make a proper jig.

    Jim,

    I have a new flyte you could use to make the jig. I'll text you soon.

    Thanks,
    Craig
