    So today my mp40 was stuck and I removed it and noticed the shaft was bent, I went to take it apart and I broke the shaft in half! But the problem is that some of the shaft it stuck in the magnet, am I screwed and should I just order an all new wetside?

    The shaft is plastic, you should be able to push it out with a screw driver or the like.

    You can order just the parts you need from Ecotech: Parts Store | EcoTech Marine

    You will need to order a new wet side if you can not remove the shaft from the magnet. The bearing holding the shaft may pop out if it has not fuzed to the magnet. It takes a few days for Vortech to process orders for replacement parts if you can remove the bearing.
