Installing a Rhodan 96 on my 301 Cobia using a Shuttle Slide mount 

Thank you Steve!

I can't find specs on their website, but I would say 75lbs.

The center section of the stabilizer came with the Rhodan, along with 2 ends that I did not use. The two new ends in my video are from Ram Mount - I just added links in the video details.

The only reason to use this mount is if you need to slide the motor further out on the rub rail. If you don't have that issue, just go direct to the deck. BTW, these motors don't work in heavy seas.

Thank you Bryan. Mine is the ss 9 UHD, but they have since replaced it with an EXD model that is wider and has thicker hardware. Let me know if you have any questions.

Bryan - I have two other videos on the install - make sure you check out the playlist.

@@4RibsFishing Thanks for the quick reply! I just ordered the SS-9-EXD. I watched your electrical installation video and Taco Rub Rail nav light videos. Can't thank you enough for the videos. They will save me a lot of time and planning. I have a small youtube channels where I post videos for my fishing guests. A lot of my guests are more interested in the video aspect than the actual fishing. I slowed down at the start of COVID as I limited my boat to 2 people and it's hard to operate the boat, rig, fish and capture video. But I'm planning to up my game shortly. If you're interested, here is a link to my channel - ru-vid.com/show-UCRdLJ8ySfdqZuoOYYWfPmXA Thanks, Bryan

Thank you Kenny - part number SS-9-UHD on the Shuttle Slide.

I needed the 96" shaft on my 30'CC so Rhodan was the only option. It held my position in 20mph winds the other day - so I am happy with it. I'm sure the Minnesota would be fine if the shaft size works for your application.

I installed rub rail nav lights. Made a few videos on that too. ru-vid.com/group/PLuJYz5ooCzZyEDIHpcPEjFvNrnrFgCafJ

All of the long saltwater trolling motors are manual retrieve. You hit a release button and it folds down.

Thank you. I wasn't very clear with my question. I have a 301 with a Rhodan. In the past I have gone on the bow and sat straddling the motor to raise it up. Because of knee replacement, I don't think I will be able to do that any more. My neighbor uses a rope attached to the head to pull it up. It works, but not sure if head is meant to take that pressure. Do you just stand on the bow?@@4RibsFishing

Bryan, I used the arm that came with the Rhodan. It’s approximately 4-5”, but I will measure it next time on the boat. Give me a few days.

Brian - it's the 'medium' size arm. RAM Mounts Double Socket Arm RAM-201U Medium Arm Compatible with RAM C Size 1.5" Ball Components

@@4RibsFishing Thanks so much! My Rhodan and Shuttle Slide should arrive any day now. Gathering tools and supplies for now. Plan to glass a shelf in my large forward storage area to hold a 36v Lithium battery. Still researching battery manufacturers.

@@bryanlandry1290 you are very welcome!!!

Expert - those are RAM Mounts - specific part numbers are linked in the video description.

@@4RibsFishing I don't see the links in the description of the video?

@@dizm100 Here are the Ram mount ends I used for the stabilizer: Small for handrail: amzn.to/3JBHUi7 Medium for TM shaft: amzn.to/3uZmmIb

Brian, I raised my seats 3”, so it’s fine. When your running at speed your looking farther ahead - so I’ve stopped noticing it.

@@4RibsFishing How easy was that to do?

@@brianlb78 I had to move my nav lights first, then decide how to mount the motor, then do the electrical. None of the tasks were ‘hard’ but they all required patience and medium level skills. Just don’t assume you can finish in an afternoon. There’s always something else you need to finish!

There are bolts holding it on from the underside. Very easy to remove.

​@4Ribs Fishing I seen the bolts just figured out I had to take the plastic housing off to undo the nuts to get them to come out.
