Hey guys,
Not sure if this has been asked before but i have a question about electric motors.
I have a 3.7 Quintrex Traveller with just the basic layout and a 15hp Yamaha.
I fish in salt water only.
My question is,'Is there much difference between the fresh/salt electric motors besides the price?"
I spoke to my local Minn Kota dealer and he said that they sell freshwater ones all the time for saltwater use. He also mentioned that they sell them with a saltwater anode.
The last thing that he mentioned was that Minn Kota may not cover for warranty if there was any corrosion present.
How could Minn Kota tell if it had been used for saltwater if it was cleaned properly everyday?
"What size motor would suit my boat application?"
Help required!!!!!!
Cheers Aaron
