If you are planning for a boat then you can avoid heat problems by inserting a cooling pipe... Refer roopesh sir's build in this forum..

go to any local motor rewinding shop and ask for the varnish they
use to coat the motor coils with - it is waterproof and can be painted on -
take about 6-8 hrs to dry with gentle heat.

what you do for the esc ?? you cannot use varnish i guess as it will not protect it fully, you can use balloon for the esc i guess

Here everything is difficult to get so don't want to take risks, so if I wanted to go trailing I am going to need to waterproof my esc and motors. Does esc have problem with heat due to hard driving if not, I can put it inside sealed box. Thanx.
