<div dir="ltr">Thanks, Dave, for making these two saltwater MK 101 available. I am working on multiple angles on this as we speak. As Jon suggested, I reached out to <span>Trollingmotorparts.com with a part list for the freshwater MD-101. I will see what it would cost to buy all the parts for the four thrusters and assemble. Even if I get complete lower units, for the R400 I have modified the brushed end to accept three standoffs to support the ducted nozzle for the two horizontal thrusters. All of these need to be modified to accept the new HP seal approach that Alec and I developed. After I hear back from <span><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:times new roman,new york,times,serif;font-size:16px">Trollingmotorparts.com, I will know the cost of going this route. </span></span></span></div><div dir="ltr"><span><span><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:times new roman,new york,times,serif;font-size:16px"><br></span></span></span></div><div dir="ltr"><span><span><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:times new roman,new york,times,serif;font-size:16px">After you hear back from your supplier, we can decide whether to use your two saltwater lower units.</span></span></span></div><div dir="ltr"><span><span><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:times new roman,new york,times,serif;font-size:16px"><br></span></span></span></div><div dir="ltr">I will be in touch off-list when I hear back.

<div dir="ltr">I am in the middle of the R400 build. I am trying to source four Minn-Kota 101 lower units, part number 2886289 or similar. Minn Kota has discontinued manufacturing these replacement lower units, so I am hoping you might have squirreled away some and would be willing to let me purchase them from you. Alternatively, can you share if you know of a source with or without the support shaft? I know MK now makes a 4.5" diameter lower unit rated at 112 lbs, but this will not work with the thruster parts I have already fabricated.</div><div dir="ltr"><br clear="none"></div><div dir="ltr"><img title="Inline image" alt="Inline image" src="cid:ii_196450bd1beb6006d461" style="max-width: 512px; width: 100%;"><br clear="none"><span></span>Cliff</div><div id="m_2016426894977387684ydpd1e35759yiv1075119038m_4764533774324814777ydp4359803dyiv5895081446yqtfd61446"><div><br clear="none"></div></div></div></div></div>_______________________________________________<br clear="none">Personal_Submersibles mailing list<br clear="none"><a shape="rect" href="mailto:Personal_Submersibles@psubs.org" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">Personal_Submersibles@psubs.org</a><br clear="none"><a shape="rect" href="http://www.psubs.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/personal_submersibles" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">http://www.psubs.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/personal_submersibles</a><br clear="none"></div>
