I manufacture products for metal detectors that are used in salt water. I was about to recommend taping (with black electrical tape) an electrical wire to a shaft but have been questioned if this is a good idea. Some believe that I would be trapping salt water against the insulation which would cause the insulation to degrade. I do not know what material the insulation is and do not expect the manufacturer to divulge that information. If my recommendation would only cause a slight problem over a long period of time, I would go with my recommendation.
So, does salt water attack electrical wire's insulation?
