[Electric Boats] Re:Trolling motor for small DIY bow thruster?

 

Consider disconnecting the power completely before the motor.  Stray salt water or other currents can do damage to aluminum Minn Kota Motors.  One of mine has the rear shell ring corroded in short order.  I had the battery off, but I think there was residual current at work.  A sudden appearance on a $400 dollar motor, ouch.


Thanks,  Cal
