I need a replacement top for the MinnKota Riptide 80 trolling motor mount as two of the six plastic screw mounts are broken. Also, the plastic washer around the handle mounts that are inside the mount are also broken. I need replacement parts for both as the motor is now apart and does not function well without these items. Can't seem to find them on-line anywhere. Motor will be 2 years old in December and I don't want to have to buy another one because of a $20 part. Any help will be appreciated.

SOURCE: Mounting a sonor/transducer on a MinnKota Riptide ST

Did the unit come with a strap to mount the transducer to a bow mount electric? Most units do... If not there is probably one available for the unit as an aftermarket accessory or accessory from the manufacturer... Regarding the transducer wire, just wrap and rout this up the front of the bow mount motor shaft so when you pull the motor up and secure it, it is not going to get in the way. You could cable tie the cord down near the bottom of the shaft and one up near the top where they wont interfere with the motor bracket when the motor is positioned up on the boat.
