#1519, "RE: Trolling motor in saltwater" In response to In response to 0
my expierence has always been if you thoroughly wash the motors after being in the salt they will be ok ,when i fished s.d.bay alot our motors were for fresh as well. I just took the boat to the carwash right after fishing.and when i got home i would hook the hose up to the(big) motor and flush it out for a couple of minutes to clean out the insides. hope this helps, Brian
