| 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. Ken ----
