Doug and others, I can
get Minn Kota parts wholesale through my company. I don't have a price for the
36v motors off the top of my head, but I do for the 24v 74# motors. They are
$196 each plus shipping from Minn Kota. I expect the 36v 101# motors are about
the same. If that helps you let me know;
Ron
Daniel
I am ready to buy 2 motors myself. What model of Minn Kota is that?
Were you able to work any discount? Are you going to buy the complete units or
just the motor heads? What are you going to go without speed
controllers?
The MotorGuide factory is in my town (Tulsa, OK), but I have had no luck
getting a hold of the right sales rep yet. I was going to try to get a
deal on some refurbished motor heads or even better yet see if they would
sponsor me some units. According to one of their sales reps their
digital units have the speed controller integrated into the motor head.
They also have a unit with remote controlled steering. That unit
might be able to be easily air or oil compensated. See: http://www.motorguide.com/index.pl/motorguide_tour_es
I have also look into Minkota's RipTide
Saltwater with 101 lbs thrust, on 36 volts, that draws 37 amps at full
power. Jim at www.trollingmotorparts.com quoted
me $223 each for the motor head only. He said they have other people were
using these on submarines too. Last year the price was $260 each.
Best Regards,
Doug Jackson

I have contacted a Minn Kota sales agent and he helped me pick the
motors,
after 10 emails we concluded that my best choice was to buy 4
motors instead
of 3, because they don’t have any 3HP motors I will have to
use 2 1.79HP
motors to reach the desired power, the thing is that these
motors are 36V
and the 1/2HP are 12V so I'm going to buy four identical
motors all 1.79HP
and redesign the electrics for the sub to 36 volts,
increasing the power to
the side thrusters should not be a problem because
for this motors design
I'm not increasing speed, I'm increasing
acceleration. What do you guys
think? I think it will work
Ps:
thanks for the link to the converting units page, it's very
helpful
Regards
Daniel

Thanks for the link.
What was Minn-Kota say when they are
asked about this? Exactly
what does the pounds of thrust number
mean? Is it pounds
per
second?
Mike
