[QUOTE="Two Rivers, post: 362363, member: 11055"] Thanks very much for your response. Good to talk with someone who's actually had one of these motors apart. Also, good suggestion to post my location (SW PA). Seems like a lot of people shortened their shaft but not too many make it longer. I finally got hold of a really good tech at MinnKota and he was able to match up the brush wire leads for a 48" shaft. I ordered a 48" shaft, the brush wire leads and a new seal kit. Price was more than reasonable. Parts are on the way. If this works, I'll be glad I kept the motor. Got some more questions if you've got a minute? Did you take your lower unit apart? Did you replace any seals? If so any tips? When you applied heat did you apply it to the shaft or the lower unit? Does the upper control head come off easy? thanks again. Talk about a hybrid? My motor started life as a 54" shaft, was shortened to a 36" and then lengthened to a 48". rob [/QUOTE]
