830-078 THRU BOLT 8-32 X 8.96

Ensure the longevity and structural integrity of your Minn Kota trolling motor with the genuine Minn Kota 830-078 Thru Bolt. This crucial replacement part is engineered to the exact specifications of the original, providing a perfect fit and reliable performance. Measuring 8.96 inches in length with an 8-32 thread pitch, these high-strength bolts are designed to pass through the entire lower unit (motor head), securing the brush end housing, center housing assembly, and plain end housing together.

Properly torqued thru bolts are essential for maintaining the watertight seals of the lower unit, protecting the armature, brushes, and other internal components from water intrusion and corrosion. Replacing bent, stripped, or corroded thru bolts with the 830-078 is a critical step in any lower unit repair or routine maintenance. This ensures your motor runs quietly, efficiently, and remains durable for years of reliable service on the water. This part is most commonly sold in a set of two, as two are required for a complete lower unit assembly.
