The Bassyaks system is designed around the Endura mount, the ripetide motor will work in the Endura mount.
Di you offer a diy kit for a 45 or 55lbs thrust motor?
Lee, the motor size isn’t important, the kit will work with ALL Endrua series motors, whether 30,40,45 50, or 55 thrust lbs.
Are the minn-kota endura’s saltwater safe? if not is there a substitute model?
Yes, the only problem with any trolling motor is if you scratch the coating the salt will get under the coating and cause blistering, on our saltwater motors we repaint the housing with a corrosion resistant coating which is harder and resists scratching or chipping , we seal the shafts on all of our motors , the saltwater motors get an anode. the internals are stainless steel and are completely sealed
I have 3 questions concerning the KIT for my Riptide 55 pound thrust motor.
1) You state that “The Bassyaks system is designed around the Endura mount, the Riptide motor will work in the Endura mount.” Does this mean that I need to buy the Endura mount for my Riptide?
2) You state that “the kit will work with ALL Endrua series motors, whether 30,40,45 50, or 55 thrust lbs.” Does this mean it will also work with all the Riptide models from 30-55 thrust lbs?
3) In your description you state “The kits are for the Endura 30 or 40 thrust lb motors and 5/3 speed”. Since the Riptide 55 does not have 5/3 speed, but variable electronic speed control, this kit will probably not work for that, right?
Thanks…
Richard, all of the Minn-Kota motors have a 1.12″ diameter shaft so any motor will work with the Endura Mount which is the base of our design. We have modified mounts which we can add to the kit. If you want a D.I.Y kit for the ESC motor call the shop, it will be a different price as it uses different parts.
