Still gathering information to purchase my first Mud Motor. Do any of you run your MM in Salt Water and have you had any problems because of it. Thanks in advance for any information. |

Just hose it down when you get back. Maybe spray some penetrating oil on the exhaust. You'll be fine. Goin get dem reds and specs? |

I paid a lil extra to get mine Hot Dip Galvanized and it has saved me some headache. My old longtail frame has some nice rust spots that i have had to fix but i have had it goin on 8 years and it still goin strong. X2 on the hose and oil . You never can have too much oil on your motor. |

The GDSD is available in galvanized. I kept mine coated with WD40. The GTR frame and lower unit is aluminum and the mounting bracket is galvanized. |

Thanks for the advice. Sounds like it's not a problem if you stay after it. Thanks again for letting me in on your experience. |

you can about anything in the salt, but you GOTTA clean and oil it good afterwards.. invest in a couple of big cans of cheap penetrating lube and use them you will be fine. but if you can get galv you would be better off |

The bottom of the skeg will rust, just keep it coated. Make sure you use nickel cease on the prop shaft. Makes it easier to get the prop off. |
