Detailed Description
The MINN KOTA 2889460 Seal & O-Ring Kit is specifically designed for trolling motors with a 4-inch outside diameter lower unit. These seals are critical for maintaining the integrity of the motor's housing, protecting the armature, brushes, and other sensitive electronics from the harsh marine environment. Over time, original seals can degrade due to wear and tear, exposure to the elements, and temperature fluctuations. Replacing them as part of your routine maintenance schedule is a proactive measure to prevent catastrophic failure.
This kit includes a complete set of high-quality, durable O-rings and seals required for a lower unit overhaul. 2889460 kit will contain:
- Thru-Bolt O-Rings: These seals prevent water from seeping in along the long bolts that hold the lower unit together.
- Prop Shaft Seals: A critical component that prevents water from entering the motor through the propeller shaft opening.
- Housing O-Rings: These create a secure seal between the different sections of the lower unit housing.
By creating a robust barrier against water, this kit ensures that your motor's internal components remain dry and free from corrosion, a common cause of reduced performance and eventual motor failure.
