Sealing OEM Roxor Starter

[JFro]

After a few rides in deep water, my starter is starting to "drag" and its taking a few tries (clicks) to finally start.
So I've ordered an OEM one from Leaders for $183.24 OTD.
I didn't want to pay the $300 for the sealed starter.

My question is:
Has anybody tried sealing the OEM starter?
Any success? Tips? Tricks?

OK, I guess I attempt to seal the new one, when it arrives and let the gang know how it works...

I am on my third OEM starter. They really don't like water/mud! I have a sealed one on the shelf for when this one packs it in. I really do hope you are able to seal up the OEM one. But if you are like me and avoiding water is not an option, then I would recommend you order a sealed starter now and have it ready.

It's not an upgrade. It's an available alternative.

Branding is unknown. Wade didn't specify where it's from. Just that it is an unknown quality alternative to thr unavailable OEM starter.
