    Default Preventing motor corrosion ?

    I'm running a Leopard 40x74 on OSE outdrive in a Tunnel hull. Runs great but I do get airborne sometimes resulting in a bottom's up condition So what do you guys do to prevent corrosion inside the motor, WD40 or some other spray ?

    Thanks Jake

    I've been told that this works really well! https://www.offshoreelectrics.com/pr...hp?prod=corr-x

    WD40 is evil, keep it away from anything electric or bearings.
    Corrosion X works well, just smells weird.

    I typically take the motor apart and oil the bearings, the rest I just wipe clean with alcohol.

    Use boat tape and that eliminates that problem 90% of the time.
