 Mudbuddy handle
Hey fellows I'm getting ready to buy a 35 mudbuddy surface drive , and I hunt mostly salt water how well do they hold up in the salt , I always take care of my stuff so just wondering if any of yall run the salt in your mudbuddys or Pd's or Gt, anyway what about the the funny looking handle where the bottens are at the throttel is.

 Re: Mudbuddy handle
I can say this if you run salt water if you get dings and chip off the coating anywhere salt can get to the metal it will rust on the MB. dont know about PD or Gd. GT has aluminum lower unit case that is painted. Hope this helps

 Re: Mudbuddy handle
I ran my old mb for about 2 years in salt water marshes and my new one for almost a year and have had had no issues at all with the switches or buttons.

 Re: Mudbuddy handle
LOL Well I am new to the site but I have to give my buddy Slingshot a hard time.
I really like the Mud buddy and I am REALLY hoping he gets an Uncle J's boat!!
BTW Uncle J - your boats are Smoking awesome!! Almost as awesome as your avatar pic!!!
If I ever upgrade to another boat it will be from you!
