| Hello Alex, I have had the old brushed etek (similar to the Mars) installed for about three years and sail pretty regularly during the sailing season. I took one precaution against corrosion which seems to have worked well. I bought some clear marine engine enamel. I can't remember the brand but I think I got it at an autoparts store and it cost maybe 10 or 12 dollars. I sprayed the motor and the aluminum mount until I ran out of the can. Since then I haven't had any corrosion issues. Before, the aluminum would oxidize on the motor mount and casing. Now it stays shiny. I also always use dielectric grease for electrical connections and shrinkwrap all terminals and connectors. These small investments in time and money seem to keep the gremlins away. I was wondering. Has anyone using the brushed etek, mars, or other brushed motor had to replace their brushes yet? I wonder if it would be good to be proactive and check them now. Any thoughts or experience Hans I --- On Wed, 4/28/10, alex <alex04032@yahoo.
