Red loctite is what my minkota authorized warranty dealer uses.

Cleaning the threads with minn kota P/N 2881021 is very important

 

[WBG444]

Always dope/seal female threads, not male regardless of what connection you are working on. If you look in the threaded hole in the troller, it's just a collar welded to the outside of the motor housing with a smaller hole inside for the wires to pass through to the brushes. It would take A LOT of excess sealant to get into the motor housing.
Knowing that I would be changing the troller shaft somewhat frequently, I bought the 1-1/8" tap for the threads which helps dramatically with the thread prep. I would recommend this to everyone, a great $100 investment.

minn kota P/N 2881021 is only $50 and it has a hole in it to run the wires through so you don't have to do a complete break down.
