[QUOTE="richg99, post: 433373, member: 4376"] For the last 35 years all of my boats have been in both salt and fresh water all year long. Now, I won't tell you that some boats have not had corrosion problems.... but that is because they were rigged out for fresh water only. Even then, it is usually the cleats and some fittings. I've used Black freshwater trolling motors and the only thing that had to be replaced were some mounting bolts. You can visually check everything that is in the open. I have, on more than one occasion, paid for an engine inspection by a local mechanic before the purchase of a used boat. If the seller won't allow it, find another seller. I've owned over 25 boats, both fiberglass and tinnies. richg99 [/QUOTE]
