Re: M_Boats: more on electric drive on M15

I have an old Minn Kota 12lbs thrust trolling motor that I used fly fishing on the Fall River in N.California for years. "Bones" sent me a small AGM battery that would be ideal for powering the motor, my only reservation though is that it is a fresh water motor with what appears to be a chrome plated leg and I wonder how long it might last in salt water and if there were any way to coat the vunerable parts.
