I bought a pair of these after my father bought one for his lift. We both live on saltwater canals in Florida. After a couple months outdoors, you can see rust on the screws and the case. I hit it pretty well with Fluid Film to hold down the corrosion. I also removed entirely the box containing the thermal reset switch - don't need that for my application and the boxes wouldn't fit under the motor covers. I covered the exposed slots that were under those boxes with vinyl graphic film to seal out the elements. The image I'm including is the wiring I needed to hook up a Gem Remote box. My father had manual switches in his control box that used the same wiring color scheme. This is for the 120V hookup. T6 and T8 are the two starting capacitors. You energize one or the other to start the thing moving CW or CCW, and the other two wire pairs are always the same.
