Hello everyone. I am new to the forum and have a question.
After 2 uses (salt water) my two rear thruster motors have seized. Although I thoroughly rinsed in fresh water it obviously wasn't enough.
I have been able to free one of them up by soaking in an ultrasonic cleaner with vinegar.
Once apart I lightly sanded the core and outer shell with 400 grit and it now spins nicely when I put the two pieces together.
My question is this. Do these motors have some kind of corrosion protection coating on the magnets?
If so, the coating on mine is now gone. Any ideas as to what I could use to replace it...vaseline, epoxy, paint?
Also does anyone know where replacement parts can be purchased?
Thanks,
