Default Penetration?

This MK is a simple one, probably designed for

Okay, got it that time ;-) Still, the motor might be useful for
some other purpose, so you could sell it to help pay for exactly what
you want. Or, as CalifBill suggests, replace the shaft with a longer
one. I've never taken one apart but would be interested in knowing
how. Seems like, besides just the shaft, you'd need a longer elec
cable inside the shaft too -shrug- I dunno. But good luck.
