I have found that it is water resistant. You can play in mud and water but I wouldn't submerge for any lanth of time.

No, I don't think so. It is not watertight. Only 2 screws hold the back cover and when you unscrew them and remove the cover, you'll gonna see the motor and plastic gears inside. Definitely cannot be used in the rain. One plus though is it has good enough power.

It's very fast for the price ... not waterproof but is water resistant. We've driven it in the rain and through mud puddles without any issues. Just clean it up, charge the batteries and go at it again. Ours has performed very well - regardless of the weather and a few wrecks.

From my understanding the speed controller is not waterproof. Hope this helps.

It is a great generic trolling motor, like the big brands. Will the paint and finish last more than a short while in Salt water... Probably no.. But not many will - unless they say they will - and then they still might not. not. Mine is left outside on my boat (fresh water) in the rain and sun and not much problem. I do not want to bring it in and out. Too much work. Otherwise, great so far....

I don't know why you would run it out of water due to the danger the rotating prop would create to someone not paying attention. Water would create sufficient friction on the prop to keep the engine from exceeding the maximum rpm. It would be best to email Minnkota with this question. I sure a couple of seconds to see if the motor is working wouldn't damage anything.

No, it has a water resistant gasket on the battery door, but it isn't waterproof.

Well, Yes, but I do not know your application. It is really a waterproof outside heat pump fan motor. I am using it as a in house heating motor, which works really well, without getting clogged up by dust and debris inside the motor. I has worked great for me and is well made with ball bearings on both ends.

Probably. I only ran mine in a freshwater lake, however. Not sure how saltwater may affect the motor or other mechanism.

I would not leave it outside and don't consider it weather proof....but it is a very sturdy pump. Any 120 volt powered motor is going to fail if it gets wet enough and would also be dangerous if not run off a GFCI powered outlet...

Somewhat...I have run it in very sloppy / raining conditions and it has been fine...my guess is that you probably don't want to fully submerge it because of the motors (not good in general for a motor to be submerged...these are not fully enclosed) and the battery / controller unit.

The motor is not built for salt water. That being said, when I use it for salt water I simply flush it out in fresh water directly afterward. I will clean it completely and rinse it very thoroughly. I have never had a problem.

Sorry not real sure about water proof! Works well though, I mounted it on a electric golf cart but its not wet very often.

as with any electronics I would not advise using it fulll time in the wet weather (outside in the rain) , the motor in the rear has vents and I am sure will ultimaly lead to malfunction and possibly electrocution..Bill P

The motor is totally enclosed, so I can't see how it could get wet. I would take precautions with the battery pack. I keep mine away from water, but if you get caught in the rain you should be fine.

The windshield is nonexistent, the fenders suck, and the defrost is still in development, but the batteries are mounted quite high and the motor is sealed pretty well, so it should be fine, just don't go splashing through all the puddles.

all brush motors can be waterproof. look on YOUTUBE at the video, how to water break in your motor.I did this motor and put new brushes into a Kyosho motor and did that today, worked great!
