I can't speak to salt water issues, but my electric motor has a knob on the side that would allow me to crank the motor down if the electrical component fails.

Subject: [Rhodes22-list] Electric Motor Lift Question

[EXTERNAL EMAIL ALERT]: Verify sender before opening links or attachments.

Dear All,

I have questions for you about the electric motor lift.

1.  How many have experience with the reliability of the motor lift in salt
water conditions & how many years?
2.  What problems have you had with it if any?
3.  Is there a fail safe to allow lowering the outboard for use if the
electric motor or switch fails?
I am thinking of upgrading.  Thanks in advance for your help.

*Thanks and Stay Well,*
