I’d be concerned about warpage. You may need to re machine the ends?

Be careful about welding to the magnet barrel.  Heat will ruin the magnets, you could submerge the barrel in water while you weld the penetrator.

Ok. thanks. I think to weld my penetrator to it. (at the place of the original shaft)

I have a number of Minn Kota 101 lower units, MK part number 2886289.  While I don't have anthing from MK on materials, I tend to agree with Hank.


1) Main body that has the permanent magnets attached is some kind of steel.
2) Brushed end assembly that holds the shaft bushing and lip seals is cast aluminum (probably 6061-T6)
3) Bow end of lower unit that holds a bearing is also cast aluminum (probably 6061-T6)

Thank you,
