990-070 WASHER - NYLATRON

Minn Kota 990-070 Nylatron Washer: A Detailed Product Description

The Minn Kota 990-070 is a genuine OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) washer engineered for a precise fit and long-lasting performance in a wide range of Minn Kota trolling motors. This essential component, constructed from durable Nylatron, plays a critical role in the lower unit assembly, ensuring smooth and efficient operation by reducing friction and providing critical spacing for the propeller shaft components.

As a key part of the prop assembly's thrust system, this washer is positioned to handle the forces generated by the propeller. Nylatron, a specialized nylon and molybdenum disulphide composite, is specifically chosen for this application due to its exceptional durability, low coefficient of friction, and high resistance to wear and abrasion in demanding marine environments.

Replacing a worn or damaged 990-070 washer is vital for maintaining the integrity of the motor's lower unit, preventing play in the prop shaft, and ensuring the motor runs quietly and efficiently. It is frequently used in conjunction with a steel thrust washer (part number 990-067) and an E-clip (part number 788-015).

Key Features:

• Genuine Minn Kota Part: Guarantees perfect compatibility and adherence to Minn Kota's strict quality and performance standards.

• Durable Nylatron Construction: Offers superior wear resistance and self-lubricating properties for reduced friction.

• Critical Thrust Component: Absorbs propeller thrust to protect other internal motor components.

• Reduces Vibration and Noise: Ensures a snug fit for components, leading to quieter and smoother motor operation.

• Precise Fit: Engineered to the exact specifications for motors with 3-1/4" and 3-5/8" diameter lower units.
