Looks like the shaft seal failed just enough to let a tiny little bit of salty urine poo water into the motor where it got spun around with all of the uncoated metals and electricity.

Re: 12 volt motor Jabsco Electric pump conversion unit rust
The bottom line is that "marine" items are seldom made of appropriate marine materials. They really don't care.

Yep ! Bought a freshwater pump from Jabsco . It lasted a month before the electrical terminals rotted.
Jabsco said I shouldn't be using it where there is a chance of condensation and that it's only for use in dry conditions .
You have to laugh.
