fitting click n go drive in locking cams

Sorry if this has been covered before ... will the drum shaft of a new click n go drive fit into the locking cam on an older kayak? I tried last night & it seems that the diameter of the drum shaft on the newer drive is a little thicker than the old. Thanks

Should fit. The diameter is the same... over all length is the same. The ends are beveled rather than rounded now. Maybe off center?

thx for the fast response. I was trying to put the "new" drive (with ST fins that I installed) from my 2009 Sport into my wife's 2008 Sport for her to try. I thought I had read somewhere or been told by my dealer that it would fit. I'll play with it now. I wanted to make sure first before I forced anything.

Thanks. I'll try it. When I tried to put the click n' go drive from my Sport (with ST fins that I installed) into my wife's older Sport for her to try out, it seemed like the shaft was a little bigger and I didnt want to force it.
