[QUOTE="AlanT, post: 505854, member: 30185"] I replaced the motor housing on my minn kota riptide last year because of a damaged skeg. On minn kota, the wires at the head simply plug into the head. The shaft at the bottom is threaded for the motor housing, so you would want to cut the shaft at the head. I remember seeing a youtube video that did exactly what you are asking. If I remember correctly, he removed both the motor and the head. The head isn't hard to remove- the motor housing is much more difficult. Your challenge will be dealing with the wires - either cutting around them or trying to fish them back out if you push them into the shaft. [/QUOTE]
