Product Description
Minn Kota 701-007 Thru-Bolt O-Ring
The Minn Kota 701-007 is a genuine and essential o-ring designed to create a waterproof seal around the thru-bolts in the lower unit of a wide range of Minn Kota trolling motors. This crucial component prevents water intrusion into the motor's internal housing, protecting the sensitive electronics and mechanical parts from corrosion and damage. Typically, two of these o-rings are required per motor, one for each end of the thru-bolts that hold the lower unit together.
Made from high-quality, durable, and pliable materials, the 701-007 o-ring is engineered to withstand the demanding conditions of marine environments. It maintains its sealing capability through countless hours of use, temperature fluctuations, and exposure to water. Replacing old, cracked, or compressed o-rings with the genuine 701-007 part is a critical step in routine motor maintenance and during any lower unit service to ensure longevity and reliable performance. This o-ring is also a common component in Minn Kota's comprehensive seal kits, such as the popular 2883460 kit.
