The indestructible composite shaft is pound for pound, stronger than steel and flexes on impact.
There are five speed settings for forward and three settings for reverse.Įndura has a shaft so strong, Minn Kota have guaranteed it for life. Let's take a closer look at the key features of this brilliant Trolling Motor:

Starship S24 is expected to return to Starbase’s build site for final assembly on Thursday, June 9th, freeing up SpaceX to test the EDOME tank during one or more 12-hour test windows it has requested on June 13th, 14th, and 15th.Minn Kota's Endura Trolling Motor is one of the most popular trolling motors available, and it's not hard to see why. As of 2020, Starship tanks were expected to operate around 6.5 bar (~95 psi) and designed to survive up to 8-8.5 bar (~115-125 psi). too sturdy to be destroyed with the available test equipment) or its destruction well past the maximum pressure it was designed to survive.
While the main goal of any test tank is to learn about new hardware, the best-case outcome would either be the total survival of the tank (i.e. Like past test tanks, SpaceX may start with a pneumatic or water test to check for leaks and ensure basic structural integrity, or it will move directly into cryogenic pressure/stress testing with liquid nitrogen.

(NASASpaceflight – bocachicagal) The first EDOME test tank is a combination of these two sections, each with one upgraded dome. Both domes have been fitted with a single pipe: one for a set of vent valves and the other for filling or draining the tank of liquid nitrogen (LN2). The tank is comprised of two upgraded domes and five steel rings and measures nine meters (~30 ft) wide and tall. SpaceX finished assembling the first “EDOME” test tank sometime in late May or early June. Despite being significantly more compact than the old design, the new dome should still be able to hold roughly the same amount of propellant as the old dome. Thanks to the new dome’s more hemispherical shape, SpaceX has also managed to improve the efficiency of the design while still making it far easier to assemble. The new dome design should only require 18 ‘gores’ and one small cap, compared to the roughly 40 different pieces and three ‘stacks’ needed for each older dome. (NASASpaceflight – bocachicagal) SpaceX’s upgraded Starship nose design. SpaceX’s first upgraded Starship dome prototype rolled out in mid-March. Whereas the nose redesign simplified nose assembly from five to three different stacked sets of welded ‘gores,’ or tapering slices of metal, SpaceX’s dome redesign appears to have more or less reduced the number of stacked sections from three to one. To an extent, the new dome went even further than SpaceX’s slightly more modest nose redesign, drastically simplifying the structure into just one main component. Starship’s upgraded domes took a bit longer, with a completed prototype appearing for the first time in mid-March. Work on the first upgraded Starship nose prototypes began in earnest around the turn of the new year.
