The only part of a BL motor that doesn't 'mix' with water is the sensor board.
Sometimes a motor that has been cooled with a peltier cooler will have a lot of moisture build up on the sensor board.
I found that some motors stuttered when using that type of cooler.
If you waterproof the sensor board it will be fine.
Water on the main power connections or stator will do nothing as the voltage is too low, just keep it off the electronic circuit for the sensors.
