Ok, so I'm getting ready to launch my Hallett 270 "river only" boat in the ocean and my OCD is getting the best of me. I am going to sling it in so not really worried about the trailer but have some concerns about the boat. I plan to flush it with SaltAway and give it a good soap bath. I am wondering if you guys are using any anti-corrosive products on your motors? I'm running a Mercruiser 500 with braided lines, plenty of anodizing, chrome ect. Should I be putting anything on it or leave it alone. Boat will be in the ocean for a week at a time a couple weeks a year. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

The same answer as on RDP!

Cigdaze told me about T-9 Bio-Shield made by Boeing. Good stuff. I spray it liberally in the engine compartment of my Advantage and after 4 winters of FT Myers boating the engine compartment shows no signs of having ever been in a salt water environment.

yep T-9 works great.

I have tried T-9 and was not impressed Corrosion-X works great, bare steel (trim bottle brackets thanks Merc) has not rusted more than a year after being sprayed with it.
