Canfield Heads in saltwater

Guys,
Can you run Canfield heads, or any aluminum heads in Saltwater? I religiously flush my motors after every run, but I never have had aluminum heads on my motors. I have KE exhaust and have run them for 5 years in Saltwater, NO Problems. Opinions please

I know how religious you are about flushing the motor dean. I'd want to say that you'd be ok.

My buddy has had them now for 2 years and they seem fine. They are hard anodized which is supposed to help. He flushes with soapy water every time the boat stops though.

Re: Canfield Heads in saltwater

I have 2 pairs on the way myself , but they are 5 weeks behind on the hard anodizing(that's the holdup). I am mostly fresh , but when in salt , always give it a flushing when I get home.
Sure hope they're ok
