Minn Kota Pull Ropes, Cables & Handle Kits

Check the rope’s condition and routing, the rope guide, and whether the rope is getting caught in the mount’s pinch points. Repeated damage is a reason to inspect the assembly, not just install another rope. Do not assume motor thrust alone explains the failure.

For Fortrex and Riptide Fortrex, Minn Kota explains that the heat-shrink section belongs next to the rope guide, not inside it. It keeps that section of rope stiff so it cannot fall into the mount’s pinch points; it is not a wear guard. Follow the model-specific routing and safety guidance in the Minn Kota pull-rope and cable replacement, maintenance, and length-adjustment instructions (PDF).

If the cause is unclear, text 815 246 2535 or email support@lakesidemarineandservice.com with your motor’s serial number and photos of the damaged rope, guide, and routing before ordering replacement parts.

Use your exact motor model and serial number to identify the required assembly. Start with our Minn Kota serial number guide, then check our Minn Kota parts diagrams. Compare the specified parts with the product listing, including the rope or cable, handle, and attachment hardware.

MKA-49 pull handle and replacement cable kit (1854125): The listing includes the 2880401 pull grip, 2291400 pull-handle cable, and 2880800 cable clamp and screw kit. Its listed applications include Ultrex and Ultrex QUEST, as well as other named models; check the full application details before purchasing.

MKA-45 pull handle and replacement rope kit (1854120): The listing includes the 2880401 pull grip, 2881601 replacement rope, and 2151700 washer. This is a rope kit, while the MKA-49 listing includes a cable and clamp hardware. Do not assume the kits use the same components or installation arrangement; confirm the kit for your exact motor.

Yes. The 2881601 replacement rope is listed separately. If you also need a grip, compare the 2881601/2150400 Maxxum & Edge rope-and-handle kit. For the separate Fortrex option, see the 2771601/2880401 Fortrex rope-and-handle kit.

Riptide SF means Saltwater Fortrex and is also called Riptide Fortrex. These names refer to the same motor family.

The 2882322 Fortrex and Riptide SF rope guide assembly with instructions is listed for 2009-and-later Fortrex and Riptide SF models. The listing identifies 2992302 and 2992322 as superseded part numbers. Confirm the guide against your motor’s model, serial number, and Minn Kota parts diagram before ordering; it is a separate component from the rope-and-handle kits.

Use the instructions supplied with the guide assembly for its installation. For related rope routing and replacement, refer to the Minn Kota pull-rope and cable instructions (PDF). These are rope-replacement instructions, not a substitute for the guide assembly’s instructions. Read the safety warnings before starting: Minn Kota warns that the motor can drop unexpectedly and that the gas-assisted mount can open violently during certain disassembly procedures. If you cannot safely support and secure the assembly as instructed, have the work performed by a qualified service technician.
