I am needing a little 2.54mm or .10” steel ball, sits at the end of the armature on my minn Kota trolling motor, thinking I hv correct parts diagram. I hv a older minn Kota riptide RT74 trolling motor. Given to me cause my center console along with am my fishing gear was stolen off my truck including my 2,500 dollar bumper, insurance hasn’t paid filed it suspecious. Part number 116-025, ball-steel, weird set up never seen a steel ball ride on edge of a spherical brass bushing before. But on this trolling motor it does. Any help greatly appreciated

Thx for making this. Good to see what you encountered

[@WaldensWorld]

Yes sir , hope you liked my real treasures the grandkids ! Stormy can solder cuircit boards n read ohms n volts now ! He is 11

[@billcollier6565]

I finished my rebuild today. It was full of water. Part of one of the magnets broke off. I hope that only causes me to lose a little power. Great to see the grandkids. Good stuff.

Happy fishing . I'm in ft Smith ar it flooding here now , barges hitting damns we may need your trolling motor lol !

[@DigitalFMJ]

LMAO... the sledge... always go for the biggest tool first :-)

[@backyardfishing1]

My 50 lb thrust started to vibrate real bad could it be the prop or the armature? It is probably 15 years old and has been through hell and back but didn't know if I could have bent the armature or if the the prop is out of wack. It is one of the weedless wedge props. Could it be just bearings? Any suggestions would be helpful! thanks!

[@WaldensWorld]

Check prop first . Mabey take prop off n see if it's running smooth !

[@keithknight2194]

What's the green layer on the brushes?

[@Tlane117]

vinegar and baking soda with a wire brush will clean up the copper corrosion (blue) on the armature.

[@arthurharris980]

Is it possible to remove the motor from a 45# thrust and replace it with the motor off a 80# thrust trolling motor? if so, will that make the 45# a 80# trolling motor?

[@WaldensWorld]

Yes it is !

[@WaldensWorld]

The #80 n 45 is based on the wires inside the motor itself !

[@badmofo350]

Thanks for sharing. Now I know what to expect when I open her up to replace the wire with 8ga. I'm pretty sure the copper part you cleaned is called the commutator. The armature is the windings or the part that the windings are wound around. Don't take that the wrong way, not trying to call you out just trying to help. I bet Minn Kota hates this video lol. Thanks again and good work!

[@WaldensWorld]

Yes my buddy is still running it his dad is in town to fish . Dad burned it up had it on while strapped to boat . My buddy couldn't find a video n wasn't sure how to so we did lol . Thanks n you are correct I got a.d.d copper is brass nuts are bults . I try to catch myself but sometimes I don't !

[@badmofo350]

@@WaldensWorld Nice, I'm glad you made it. I'm sure it's helped a lot of people. I know what you mean man, with all the different parts and names for them it's easy to get em mixed up and on top of that you're on camera. You got it done and it works so thats all that really matters. Tight lines!

[@samtate1260]

Deep River Bassin yeah you’re right that is what it is called The commentator I am waiting on a seal kit my trolling motor came with a boat sat in a pole barn 4 years with water in bottom end bad seals nightmare Baring was frozen with rust commentator was black

[@WaldensWorld]

Lol yes when my buddy had this happen we couldn't find any info except take it to the shop n open wallet upside down ! Thing still runs great ! N thanks for info . There are days when I call brass copper . Im not a perfect mechanic but I get a job done ! Happy boating .

[@undeserved1781]

oh yeah sand paper goes a long way on shaft where prop pin goes as well as brushes and armature

[@10us101]

[@boggs104]

You certainly get a lot of silly ass criticism when you make a video on here..I appreciate your time though

[@WaldensWorld]

Larry Rotz yes if it was perfect 7% would still be mad lol glad if I could help . Mabey there mad I got kids doing it lol.

[@markworthington1895]

It's called copper.

[@WaldensWorld]

Mark Worthington did I say brass. Lol everybody mark won the internet please dont replace the copper with brass . sometimes I say one orange metal for another . but that motor runs like a bat out of hell now . Congrats mark . Im a math guy not grammar . hope the video helps your problems .

[@rodneyjohnston6280]
