<div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">Alan I looked at the Caroute site. They have some good options. For me, the changeover to these would be harder as my propulsion voltage is 36V. All of these seem to be either 24V or 48V. The price for a 101 lower unit is about $300 US <a href="https://trollingmotorparts.com/minn-kota-lower-unit-w-prop-variable-speed-101/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://trollingmotorparts.com/minn-kota-lower-unit-w-prop-variable-speed-101/</a> I looked at the Caroute S400-48V 180LB Electric Boat Trolling Motor with
Speed Controller 180 Pound Large Thrust Saltwater for DIY., it runs $1600 in US. The Caroute is a more powerful motor at 180 lbs of thrust.</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">When you dissemble your <span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: times new roman, new york, times, serif; font-size: 16px;">Caroute, I would be interested in how hard you think it would be to pressure compensate.</span></span></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: times new roman, new york, times, serif; font-size: 16px;"><br></span></span></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: times new roman, new york, times, serif; font-size: 16px;">I agree we need to keep an open mind on these thrusters.</span></span></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">Cliff<br><span><h1 id="ydpac7f1a79title" class="ydpac7f1a79a-size-large ydpac7f1a79a-spacing-none" style="padding: 0px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font-weight: 400; color: rgb(15, 17, 17); font-family: Amazon Ember, Arial, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 0px !important; font-size: 24px !important; line-height: 32px !important;"><br></h1></span></div><div><br></div>
