Can you use Silicone on Trolling motor?

Does anyone know if it would hurt to use a little Permatex RTV Silicone on selaing a Minn Kota? I ordered seals and o-rings but just thought this may help seal better.

A trolling motor is a small DC ( direct current) motor. I work on electric motors for a living and can tell you in my experience silicone and dc motors dont mix well. May be why they dont put it on from the factory.dc motors have a commutator the brushes ride on, the gases from the silicon affects the commutation.

Thanks for the info and your right! I called jonestrollingmotor and he said not to use it! I dont know what I done wrong last time but messed up somwhere cause it leaked! Gonna clean it good and put together as soon as kit comes in mail!
