To prevent corrosion, the electronics are cast in acrylic resin. If they have the right to use their motor in salt water, they should definitely choose a salt-water resistant model as the Minn Kota Riptide.

Minn Kota Riptide RT55 V 91cm has the unbreakable composite shaft, which does not rust, unlike metal and with grounding Although bends but does not break or kink. Nevertheless, he is so stiff that it does not vibrate when driving. The circuit board of Riptide motors are completely encapsulated in marine grade polyurethane to protect the electronic circuits. All electrical connections are sealed in liquid-tight heat shrink tubing against the destructive effects of salt water.
