Elec Trolling Motor

My dealer says that Motor Guide fresh water models can be used in salt water without corrosion problems, provided fresh water washdown and RP7 sprayed after use. Has anyone had experience?

Ive got a bow mount freshwater model and i just bought a saltwater anode. They cost like around 17 dollars or something and this just keeps it under warranty and stops corrosion. Good motors as well

Iv'e got a fresh water Minn Kota 30 for my tinny, had it for about 1 1/2 years and just wash it down after each time in salt, no probs. Tyronne, what is the "anode"? if they are better for fresh lecs use in salt then I might get one.

I currently have a freshwater MG bowmount on my tinny with an anode on the shaft its always washed with fresh water after use and have no signs of corrosion I used to have a freshwater MK transom mount which didnt have an anode was also washed after every use and showed no signs of any corrosion I had that motor for about 4 years

Hey narra all the anode is is it corrodes instead of the shaft corroding. i just wash it with fresh as well but my motor is only new. Prob worth going 2 get 1 maybe up 2 u i just got because the guy just said it keeps it under warranty.
