If your oil compensating the motors and are going to add the wrap around tube\bladder as per Alecs Snoopy, I would suggest, adding a vent hole somewhere near the aft bearing. With my setup, ive put the tube going around the motor and its all ok. But, I just cannot get the last dregs of air out. No matter what I do. I suspect that its because the pipe nipple protrudes a mm or so into the casing and so will not allow the last bit of air out. It really irritates me and I worry that the motor is not properly compensated. So, I am going to make a modification to the motor like this pic. I think this will work, the suspect bit is mating the plug against the slightly domed motor case. I think a large rubber washer should seal it. The i should be able to rotate the motor and remove the last dregs of air. What do you think?<br>

<div><span></span></div><div></div><div> Does anyone have any documentation on the Minn Kota 101 main support female thread spec? It does not look like a tapered pipe thread and the threads per inch look to great. I put a digital caliper on this at it read 1.064-1.07 inches for the minor diameter. I measured the threads and it is 18 threads per inch. I looked in the machine handbook and the closest that comes is a 1-1/8 UNEF (Extra fine thread series). The major and minor diameters for a 1-1/8" UNEF are 1.1250" and 1.0649" respectively.</div>
