Hello, what the best to way to change the 3 cables direct at the motor? corrosion kills the awg 12 direct at the motor.
thanks a lot

Corrosion shouldn’t be getting in unless there is a waterproofing issue. Either you have a cut in the cable or the motor wasnt waterproofed correctly at the factory. Perhaps post a picture of the issue.

Do you seriously think corrosion destroyed the silicone insulation? There’s obvious mechanical damage.

The copper has already dissolved in several places, including the motor. I also think water got in there somehow. But how can I replace the cables directly on the motor?

Remove the stator alu end cap and solder new wires, se her how to do that:

Be careful with the glue of the windings, soften it before hammering out that alu part too far. Otherwise you could tear the windings.

Maybe also swap the ceramic bearing(s) for a stainless one if you take the motor apart.

Those cables definitely got cut and let water in. You need to be really careful not to slice them.

Were you able to fix it?

I have the same issue with a Saite 6384. Two cables are damaged very close to the motor. Not sure what caused the insulation to fail.

I took sleeves and connected new cables with flux and good solder, filling the cables with WD40.
I was unable to separate the parts.
