Default Saltwater-Raw water cooling

Looking at taking the boat to the gulf for Labor Day weekend but have some reservations about running saltwater through my aluminum headed motors. A slip will be available where we'll be staying so I'll have to option to leave the boat in the water if I choose to do so. Will I do any damage to my motors?

Run salt away after u pull the boat Kelly. Also, in my garage is a fresh water tank from the Cigs trailer used to flush it when done. It's got a garden hose fitting on it. Your welcome to it if you wanna grab it.

I might go get it then, Where can I find salt away? I guess it'll be readily available down there.

I had some but I'm sure it's boxed up now. I'd think you could find it at west marine or similar on the way south. Garage is unlocked if you need in.
