Amazingly, most boats are designed to be used in salt water!
You'll be fine, just rinse and flush the boat well after use - ensuring the thermostat opens.

I recommend using a product like Salt-Away to flush the outdrive and engine. You can also use it on the rest of the boat and rinse well afterwards. |

Make sure you are using the right types of zincs for salt water. Just a thought............ |

Agreed. Even after being moored in salt my zincs are still at about 3/4 there; but I always start out with new each season. |

lol...most years...I have between 3/4 and 1/2 left...but one year...that horseshoe one on the front of the drive....was GONE....so that's why I usually pull it out mid season and look things over, check the gear oil, etc. I am in a mooring field so there is no shore power but there are a couple of floating docks, maybe that year someone had bad electrical or something that's not to codes going on..... |
