So, noticed this past weekend that my trolling motor shaft seems to be getting really worn. Super scratched up and I can’t figure out why. I thought it was only rubbing while it was deployed, but it seems to be rubbed the whole length of the shaft. I tried a generous amount of WD-40 that I rubbed in all around the shaft, but that did nothing as far as I can tell. When I rub my hand on it, it leaves a black powdery dust on my hand. I thought about greasing it, but don’t want to get grease in the water, on my hull, or on my hands when deploying it. Any guesses what is causing it or how to stop it?
