A lot of these million dollar go fast boats are all ran in salt water , you don't here these guy's *****ing about the salt , It's all in how you take care of it , just like Dean's motor 
I drove 10 hours once to buy a lake boat that had more rust and pit then any of my salt water boats combined ," I turned around empty on that one " Most people don't understand that ALL water is corrosive fresh and salt , so the fresh water guy's don't spray and clean there motor's ect, properly because they think there safe from corrosion but there NOT , go look in person and have any boat you by surveyed and inspected

yes in salt water area's you can lightly spray engine bay with water let dry and then spray with CRC or w-d or any other type of product that reduces corrosion , Boesheild is a great product used on planes and marine applications

Oh please Mike, you are delusional. I don't know what I am talking about? Oh contrar. Ironically I am looking at a saltwater boat/s and they don't even compare. And don't even get me started on the trailers.
BTW...I only need to wash my bilge once a year and I do spray it down with WD right before I put it to bed for the evil winter.

As for desalting- water is a universal solvent. Use lots, then wipe it down or oil/wax/grease to limit the effects of the other minerals in the water. Surfactants (soaps) help. Treat it similarly to how you'd clean a muzzleloader or AK-47 on surplus ammo (corrosive salts in powder). Soap, water, oil. Maybe a cleaner that is (very) mildly alkaline, too?

Think this topic has been beaten to death. Long story short maintenance is key regardless of where you boat fresh or salt for different reasons (salt corrosion, fresh rot). Leave it at that.
