Can i convert my bow mounted mini kota 40 to a transom mount?

Hi, you can get away with a 70 amp hour deep cycle battery but I generally fit a 100 amp hour deep cycle battery. Hope this helps, regards Phil.

that depends on the usage you want. any good deep cycle marine battery should do you good. min of 700 cca

Hey Chris,, you are starting a project (or wanting to) that is going to be problematic... It will be easier to go buy a new trolling motor with the money you are going to spend attempting this conversion... the newer trolling motors are so much more efficient...

The Endura 40 is a 12V motor. To get off a bit cheaper go to a place that sells car batteries and get a sealed maintenance free battery.

here you go

I believe the Mag 36 is a 12v and the Mag 40 is a 24v......Ive been doin a little research and cant find anything that points to a 12 and 24v system.....

Parts can be purchased from this dealer...There are schematics on the site for review....

There is kind of a collar on the lower side of the head where the head connects to the shaft. There is a single bolt that runs right thru the shaft at this location, remove it. Rotate the head 180 degrees and re-install the bolt. 5 minute job.

look for clips around the pin inside the housing perimiter. If you see rings cut in the pin that don't have clips in them, they probably fell off. If used in a marine environment, the pin probably is corroded and locked to the housing. Use usual methods, i.e. heat and lube and.....a hammer wrench.
