Dick, Have your heard about a temporary coating/shield? that a friend of ours introduced us to 'BOESHIELD T-9' that was developed by Boeing? For those that haven't, It is a Rust & Corrosion Protection in a spray can (450ml) and is a waterproof lubrication. We split a case with her. On the can it says it's made in USA for PMS products, Inc. and they have an 800 # (1-800-962-1732). It shows Marine usage & that it will protect Engines and drives, Electric & Battery, Deck Hardware, & Fishing Tackle. I'm also using it to coat all the hand tools that I keep on board the boat(s). Mine have always been rusting away (unless stainless). When it dries, it leaves the surface feeling a little waxy. fyi Gordon ----- Original Message ----- From: "Richard Lane" <rqlhgl@ieee.org> To: "For and about Montgomery Sailboats" <montgomery_boats@mailman.xmission.com> Sent: Monday, April 19, 2004 11:54 AM Subject: 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.
