Minn Kota 65 MX trolling motor

[carlb13]

Hi- I'm new to the forums, looking for a small saltwater/marine capable trolling motor for our new/old dinghy sailor, and found several of these MK 65MX motors on eBay. Only one listing called it a 'marine' motor, and I could get no confirmation on the Minn Kota website if this is truly a saltwater motor. I see several old posts the last few years about these motors- anyone know if this is a saltwater motor? Thanks!

Welcome to iboats!

I'm fairly sure it's not a saltwater model. However, that just means you're going to have to be fastidious about rinsing it well after each use if you want it to last. Of course, you should also rinse off a saltwater model from time to time too.

Most saltwater motors are painted white to distinguish them from fresh water (black) versions.
