Default Corrosion prevention products, who's using what?

Ok, so I'm getting ready to launch my Hallett 270 "river only" boat in the ocean and my OCD is getting the best of me. I am going to sling it in so not really worried about the trailer but have some concerns about the boat. I plan to flush it with SaltAway and give it a good soap bath. I am wondering if you guys are using any anti-corrosive products on your motors? I'm running a Mercruiser 500 with braided lines, plenty of anodizing, chrome ect. Should I be putting anything on it or leave it alone. Boat will be in the ocean for a week at a time a couple weeks a year. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Cigdaze told me about T-9 Bio-Shield made by Boeing. Good stuff. I spray it liberally in the engine compartment of my Advantage and after 4 winters of FT Myers boating the engine compartment shows no signs of having ever been in a salt water environment.

I have tried T-9 and was not impressed Corrosion-X works great, bare steel (trim bottle brackets thanks Merc) has not rusted more than a year after being sprayed with it.
