How much side-to-side movement is usual on wobble roller shafts? My wobble rollers have 15mm bore width and can slide 25mm side-to-side along the shaft. Only problem is at each end of travel there is 12mm of shaft and split pin (or welded washer) sticking outside (inside) the roller. Some gel coat has been chipped on the edge of the planning chines and it looks like the wobble rollers are being forced outward by the chines where they are narrower forward and then as the boat comes on climbing over the chines before sitting on the inside where wider aft, and that maybe where the chips happened I'm thinking of cutting down the shafts and redrilling split pin holes, or getting wider rollers that cover the shafts. Do wobble rollers need to move so much side-to-side? (ribbed 70mm wide x 105mm dia x 22mm hole on 20mm shafts)
