[PSUBS-MAILIST] Minn Kota 101 parts

[Jon Wallace via Personal_Submersibles]

FYI, I ordered new seals and a brass bushing direct from Minn Kota which turned out to be the best pricing for the items that I could find on the Internet.
A while back we had a discussion about the two seals on Minn Kota's...are both necessary, what about the space between them and pressure considerations, etc, etc, etc.  In my case, I considered installing just one seal but chickened out and installed both.  I'm convinced the purpose of two seals is simply to back each other up in case one fails.  I had lost the cardboard spacer that separates the two seals, so after installing the first one I packed the void within it (it's a lip seal) with grease and then just pushed the second one directly beside the first with no spacer.  
The seals are numbered 21 in the attached diagram.
