I use Salt Away every time I get back. As far as I can tell it's super concentrated windshield wiper fluid. I spray my trailer down with the windshield wiper fluid and it has the same effect but I wouldn't trust it in my engines.

You can purchase SALTAWAY from West Marine....they have all the sizes and hose attachments.....The stuff works very well and leaves a micro coating on all the internal pieces that it comes in contact with to further protect from salt intrusion.

Yup...once a month is what we do or more often if you are boating more hours than normal.

Re: What to do to get saltwater ready?
Your props, try a little toilet bowl cleaner.
Flush your motors for 5 - 10 minutes, wash your trailer, flush your trailer brakes. Give her a good bath with good boat soap when your done and your good to go. Salt water boating is offshore power boating in paradise. |
