Longevity of aluminum heads-raw water.

Longevity of aluminum heads-raw water.
A friend is having aluminum heads put on his blower motors this winter but has raw water cooling on the engines. How well do aluminum heads hold up in a pleasure boat used in brackish water?? Does anyone have any experience I can pass along? I had a real problem with an aluminum manifold even though I religiously flushed and was wondering if he might have corrosion problems with the heads.
Thanks.
Thanks.

Thanks for the input guys. I think he's getting the Canfields, guess I'll need to make sure they are anodized. Looks like the AFR's flow a little better but apparently the guy doing the engines really likes whatever he's using, we shall see.
