[PSUBS-MAILIST] thruster

[Jon Wallace via Personal_Submersibles]

 Back in April 2025 Cliff Redus reported the same issue.  The updated model is 112 pound thrust instead of 101, and the cost has gone way up.  Sounds like they took care of you on the price, although I would note that TrollingMotorParts.com lists the 112 lower unit at $440 retail and not $500.  We did our group purchase of 101 lower units quite a few years ago and paid $250 each for them, as I recall.  Sorry you have to refab to make the new units work Rick.  I will run into the same issue at some point.

 Just a heads up. I had to purchase another Minn-Kota motor and they don't have the model I bought years ago when Jon made an order for the three of us, a saltwater riptide 101, It has been replaced by a unit that is 4.5" in diameter instead of 4" and the stub up that has the female threads is now in the middle of the housing.I bought it from the same place Jon got our "Northland Marine" and they quoted a little over $500 but he still honored our Psubs discount which brought it down to $405. There are pros and cons with living in Hawaii as the shipping to get it here was $225! Oh well. Unfortunately I now have to re fab a unit that will hold the thruster as well as my steering linkage. Keeps me out of trouble.
