I am looking at a 1 1/2 year old minn kota trolling motor. It has been mounted on a boat and left in the rain. Are the electronics ok or has the rain possibly damaged the motor.

Rain should have no effect, CJ.<br /><br />Good luck. :)

As JB said, if it has not had it's seals broken, it should be ok.<br />If it's a foot control, you might want to lube up the cables the best you can and work them some to get them loose if they are tight.

They don't ever stay dry on my boat.<br /><br />Rain will not hurt them but you may need to clean the foot controls.
