While cleaning out the basement, I ran across one of those plastic covers for shower rods. Having just installed a different mount on my MotorGuide a thought came to me.
Try using the shower rod cover, as protective shield over the wire and shaft. It fit and will work fine once I get a different color. The one I tried is a pale funky aqua color. My wife tells me she has seen them in several different stores and they are usually under 5 bucks. Places like Bed, Bath & Beyond, Target, Walmart, etc...
Below is a link to what I'm talking about. They are $2.50 each there but you have to buy a minimum of 6. I'm going to look around town and online for a better deal.
