any hints on dealing with salt...what is a good cleaner...took my boat out for the first time in the ocean and it was great...flushed etc...but what about cleaning hull and interior...its done but any hints would be apprecited

Corrosion block is your friend. After that, lots of freshwater whenever and wherever possible. Keep an eye on zincs, flush regularly, did I mention lots of freshwater?

Go run it in fresh water... works better than the hose plus youre boating again
