Default Minn Kota Endura 30 - overall height?

Hi all,

I'm a scale modeller wanting to model a Minn Kota Endura 30 transom mount
trolling motor. After a lot of Google searches, the only dimension I can
find is the shaft length of 30". Now, I'm assuming that 30" is from the
center motor pod to the center of the handle on the controller at the top of
the shaft. If so, then is the overall height of the Endura 30 about 36"?

Just looking for comfirmation of my assumption. Thanks in advance.

Ken

Did you try a Minn-Kota search Ken? They have a great archive of past
models!

Default Minn Kota Endura 30 - overall height?

Hi Steve,

I searched all through the Minn Kota website
(http://www.minnkotamotors.com/index_noflash.asp) with no luck finding the
info I'm after.

I realized my first attempt is too big for 1/35 scale when I placed it with
my 12ft skiff.

I scaled the motor assuming the 30" was from the transom mount to the center
of the motor pod. Its better suited for 1/24 scale boat, so I'll save it for
another project.

The Minn Kota motor I saw at Canadian Tire a couple months ago seemed quite
tall so I really didn't give it a second though. But now I'm thinking it
probably was a bow mount motor. I didn't look too close at the time since I
was planning to model a 2HP Honda BF2 outboard, but Minn Kotas are simplier
to model. The Honda BF2 is 37.25" tall, so I'm thinking the Minn Kota 30 is
about 36-37" tall as well.
