Product Description

Minn Kota 701-039 O-Ring Seal: Detailed Product Description

The Minn Kota 701-039 is a genuine and essential O-ring designed to create a watertight seal in the lower unit of a wide range of Minn Kota trolling motors. This specific O-ring serves as a critical barrier, sealing the plain end housing (rear housing) of the motor to prevent water intrusion and protect sensitive internal components like the armature, brushes, and bearings from moisture and contaminants.

Crafted from high-quality, durable materials, the 701-039 O-ring is engineered to meet Minn Kota's exact specifications for fit, compression, and longevity. Proper sealing is paramount to the long-term health and performance of a trolling motor. A compromised or degraded O-ring can lead to catastrophic lower unit failure, resulting in costly repairs and downtime. Replacing this part during routine maintenance or when servicing the lower unit ensures your motor remains reliable and efficient for years to come.

This part is often included in the comprehensive Minn Kota Seal Kit (part number 2883460) but is also available individually for specific repairs. It is the direct replacement for the previous part number 406460.
