Salt Away ???
 

Anyone use this stuff & does it work as they claim ?

Re: Salt Away ???
 

Yes, regularly. And it works great.

Re: Salt Away ???
 

I Never Flush Without It

Re: Salt Away ???
 

Always!

Re: Salt Away ???
 

I've compared my motors after breaking them down with and without. It WORKS!!!!

Re: Salt Away ???
 

Thanks for the input & I'll give it a try. I'm sure it will come to some good use in the winter as well with snow plowing. A while back I saw someone mentioned the mixing unit was a bag of $hit. Anyway/suggestions to make that better ?

Re: Salt Away ???
 

i plan on using it on my new blower motors, everyone i talked to that uses it, swears by it.

Re: Salt Away ???
 

I called & spoke to Lenora yesterday at Salt Away. She seems awesome to work with & may be able to give a group discount indivudally. If this seems like a good idea let me know & will run it by her. The prices she gave me yesterday was alot lower than retail providing you purchase by the case. 4 gallons per case. While plowing in the middle of night I get that harsh salt prior to road traffic. This will definetly be a test.

Re: Salt Away ???
 

I've never used it, but the other day I pulled my t stat housings, and there wasn't a hint of salt in there. I flush the chit out of the engines with fresh water. I also put Dawn in the hose before I hook it up. When it quits bubbling, you know the fresh water has gone completely through. I'm also a believer in flushing it twice. The first fllush dissolves any salt crystals that may have formed, and flush it again before it dries to flush out the salty water. I know it works better like that on the outside of the boat.

Re: Salt Away ???
 

In my case I'm limited to the duration I can idle my boat. I've had the PD warn me that next time they visit I will have a $500. fine. So I compromise and flush at the public marina the last several times. Last Sunday was told by the harbor master if I do again I will be banned from the marina. Oh yeah, I pay over $2500. a season for a slip but that dont matter.

Re: Salt Away ???
 

Works great! A must when running in the salt!

Re: Salt Away ???
 

i've been using it for years flush the motors and wash the boat and trailer.you would never knew it came out of salt water.

Re: Salt Away ???
 

Seems you might come up with a quick clamp on or slip in muffler just for flushing ...m

Re: Salt Away ???
 

I would be interested in a "group" buy ......m

Re: Salt Away ???
 

How about a couple of hoses into a bucket of water from the exhaust?

Re: Salt Away ???
 

I use a product called SaltX (704) 391-8111. It is about the same as SaltAWay. I pulled my heads last spring and the heads look new. I flush after every run and then use the SaltX. Well worth the $ for the peace of mind.

Re: Salt Away ???
 

I gotta look into this stuff, never seen it , gotta try it......

Re: Salt Away ???
 

I use it religously. I flush with fresh water for a while then switch on the salt-away and shut the motors off when the salt away is about 3/4 gone.

I also keep a spray bottle with a 50/50 mix of water and salt-away to get everything that may have gotten wet under the hatch.

Re: Salt Away ???
 

Next season I'll have a truck or bus muffler with a "Y" pipe & 2 lengths of flexable rubber exhaust hose. Should work like a dream. Good thought though.

Re: Salt Away ???
 

Will get back shortly with the 3 hour time change. Interested in the 4 gallon/1 case ?

Re: Salt Away ???
 

Interesting, cleans the water circuit as well as lets you know when it's through. Is there any reason this wouldn't work as well as Salt-Away?

Re: Salt Away ???
 

Salt away is supposed to neutralize the salt & provide a protective barrier of some sort. They have some good info on thier site www.saltawayproducts.com

Re: Salt Away ???
 

If anyone is interested go to thier site & call to order. Speak to Lenora & ask for the OSO discount. It will be offered by the case only at 4 gallons per. If you do not have the engine flush attachment you will need that as well.

Re: Salt Away ???
 

how much for a case ?

Re: Salt Away ???
 

I have the notes at home & in the office. I'm in the process of beating her up a bit. Stay tuned to your favorite channel.

Re: Salt Away ???
 

It's $35/gallon at West Marine's online site.
Even though I have 1,000+ hrs on these motors, I'd be interested in the group buy...at least I'll be prepared for the new powerplants :D

Thanks,
Michael

Re: Salt Away ???
 

$98.36 per case (4 gallons) / 24.59 per gallon plus shipping from Ca. The shipping to NY to me would be apprx $25. Not sure if its going to work with that added.
BUT..give me an idea who's interested & if there is enough orders I may be able to ship from NY.
