    Cleaning trolling motor receptacle?

    Any recommendations to clean the pins? I noticed that green color on them. Thanks in advance!

    The green is corroded copper or brass. The best cure is to replace it. Even if you clean it, you’ll generally be left with bare steel which will rust. You can try toothpaste as a gentle abrasive. Clean afterwards with alcohol and coat with De-Ox
