Yes I had to junk that motor! Left it hanging upside down for a week and it still would not come apart!!

All the reving up in the world will not get the salt out, has to be fresh water flush after, and that isn't enough really, the best way is to take to a lake or something and dip it in, and run it for a bit.
I flush mine with the hose after every use!
