I think I remember reading something on hear recently that using a non-saltwater series trolling motor in saltwater would likely kill it fairly quickly. I am also assuming that a saltwater series would work fine in freshwater as well as salt.
If that is the case, I think I need to be hunting a saltwater trolling motor. I think in some future trips to the coast that I would like to haul my jon boat down for some bay fishing, or perhaps even some close in ocean fishing if I got a very calm day. The tarpon bug has bit pretty good in me, and there are enough showing up in Orange Beach right now that it might be an interesting way to kill a day or two to try to catch one on my own down there.
I'd appreciate any advice on the one to buy (or not to buy) as they look fairly pricey at first glance.
