It probably would if you put it on there each time. The RTV really keeps the water out (especially the salt water) and is easy to dig out if you ever want to take it apart. Thanks for watching 👍🏻
The tiller unit I completely took apart, it’s only a few screws. The lower motor unit I did not disassemble other than removing the prop. The motor unit can be effectively sealed externally using a high quality sealant like I did in the video. Next time I plan to use something like 3M 4200 to seal the lower unit, it’s very rugged, but can be removed if necessary. Good luck! Let me know how you make out 👍🏻
@@commonsensesolutions6662 I was concerned about the brushes coming out and not be able to get them back in place. I have that very one ordered I should be getting it in a couple days. I think I will do what you did before I mount it.
@@AJWildhorse cool, yeah doing this stuff definitely cannot hurt. I still have my trolling Motors from many years ago thanks to this process. I’ve had the motor units apart before and it’s really not that big of a deal to get everything back together but I think for a new motor this is not necessary just seal everything externally like I did in the video it will definitely help.

Great idea! Mine also filled with water! This makes a lot of sense, I will seal my new motor and try it out 👍🏻
The epic est presentation ever in yt :-3
Thanks for the knowledge
Nice solution thanks
Instead of using RTV on the screws would marine grease work?, i have black rtv but dont really wanna put it on the screws

@@commonsensesolutions6662 good point I'll put the rtv on since its easy to remove
A question. Did you take it completely apart? Or did you just split the cases enough to push in the rvt?
