6025 cord issue

[RobertK]

Hi,

I just purchased new 6025 and 6045 nanostreams from Marine Depot. The cord on the 6045 is flat, and folds over the edge of the motor block nicely to allow the propeller housing to snap shut. This is similar to the other 6045s I already own. However, the cord on the 6025 is round and fatter. It does not fold over the edge of the motor block as well, which prevents the tabs on the propeller housing from clicking into place, leaving it only loosely connected on one end. It seems like the slot on the propeller housing where the cord exits is not deep enough, and I am tempted to cut it so that it will close properly. Is this typical? Why is there a heavier gauge cable on the weaker pump?

Thanks,
Robert

I also had to trim the slot out to get the housing to seat better. so I am guessing it is somewhat typical. but the pump still worked great. maybe the flatter cable is just a new design.

All of the pumps now come with the heavier gauge cable. A flat cord is from an older pump. The cord change was largely due to the cable supplier changing what they offered. The front cover however should fit this, if you PM me your address I will send a new front cover.
