Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Thruster mounts



Speaking of thrusters, how have any group members solved the challenge of mounting their MinnKota's (or . . . ) to their boats?
 
I plan on cutting the shaft tube but that's as far as I've taken it.  Obviously the motor control will be in the (dry ambient ) cockpit but I'm finding the thru-hull fitting at the motor a bit of a problem.  Motors will be fixed, not steerable.

I am looking for four surplus/used  thrusters for my next boat, two at around 100 lbf thrust and two around 50 lbs.  The depth rating is 1000 fsw.  While most psubs go with pressure compensated  Minn Kota trolling motors I am looking for some used commercial thrusters to improve  reliability.

If anyone has some thrusters they would be willing to part with and know of a source, let me know.

Frank,

I tried capturing it but had no luck with the various different programs that I hold.  Agree that it would be good to have a copy for future purposes.

Hi Jay. We should save that video on the psub site for obvious reasons.
