CHECK THOSE BEARINGS!!!!!!!!!
even shielded bearings can get moisture in them.

WD 40 will not hurt the motor I would take it apart and put it in a warm spot for a day or 2 but for best results it should come apart

Anyone have any input on my motor that was under water for a week? It was in my sunken 51" Mono wreck. Got it back, drained any water that had gotten in it and then added a generous amount of DW40 thru the front plate screw holes. I let it sit for a day, then turned it over and drained whatever would come out for a couple days. Is there any harmful "residue" in there? Does any ingredient in WD40 have a negative effect on the inside of the motor??? I'm thinking it wont but i could very well be wrong............do the windings need to be completely free of any foriegn substance.................does the WD40 just dry up???

Thanks, i'm getting close to my maiden with my new 47" and just want to make sure.
