this has been an ongoing maintenance schedule.
pretty much do this every time in saltwater.
I got a proper seal to replace the temporary foam one...link further below
the new seal is working well at keeping out salt... but salt is extremely corrosive that's why I check every time.
here's a link to me running the motor

I was lucky that I gave it a test run prior to my next outing!
It was running terribly. intermittent speed and slow.
At 1st I thought my battery was flat, BUT NO..it was the motor full of saltwater.
these are sold as a saltwater motor so beware, if you want it to last you are going to have to do this regularly.

PS: after my next use my trolling motor did have a small amount of saltwater in it still,, I have ordered some good quality seals for it!
