My motor is sealed, but thats just by chance. I do this in my back yard, so no salt water is used. It just gets really messy, with eyeballs and guts flying
!!!!!!
But after I'm done, I wash and dry all the parts, there is a bearing in the back of the auger that i keep cleaned and oiled. Rust is what kills these.
Jim:
I also fitted a piece of that 6" or 8"yellow plastic pipe over the hopper that makes it deeper and not as messy. I can cram 3-4 macks into that pipe , its about 10" tall, and I push with a piece of closet pole.
I can show a pic assembled if you want.
