Product Description
Restore the heart of your trolling motor with the genuine Minn Kota 188-096 Brush. This essential component is a direct OEM replacement part designed to ensure your motor runs smoothly, quietly, and efficiently.
Over time, the carbon brushes in your trolling motor's lower unit can wear down, leading to reduced power, intermittent operation, or complete motor failure. This 4.75-inch brush is a critical part of the motor's armature assembly, responsible for conducting electrical current to create the magnetic field that spins the motor.
Replacing worn or damaged brushes with the Minn Kota 188-096 will help you regain lost performance and extend the life of your trolling motor. Made from high-quality materials to meet Minn Kota's exact specifications, this brush ensures reliable power and durability for countless hours on the water. This part is typically used in conjunction with the brush plate assembly and is crucial for a complete motor rebuild or tune-up.
