Pin on trolling motor keeps working its way out
Message:
I have a Minn Kota 80lb trolling motor and the pin on the upper mounting bracket keeps working its way out, it looks like a door hinge pin to a vehicle, the pin is steel and the bracket its in is aluminum, so I cant weld it, Has anybody had this problem?? Im thinking of machining a pin with 2 threaded ends and putting flat head screws on each end. Any Ideas???

im not 100% sure but is there a groove on one end of the pin where a "e" or "c" clip can go to prevent it from sliding back? if not.......do you have enough room on the end of the pin to drill a hole through it and install a cotter pin or something to stop it from being able to pull back through? if not then yah id probably just make a new pin with threaded ends and use a couple nuts to keep it on.
