Re: Freshwater to Salt
An outboard will be fine so long as flushed as mentioned above. An electric motor is another story if you were thinking of bringing one along. Trolling motors are made in fresh and saltwater models, with the latter having stainless components with corrosion in mind. A freshwater trolling motor used in salt, no matter how much care it receives, will not last. As far as electronics and the boat itself, you can use a product like salt-x which adapts to a hose a-la miracle grow and greatly increases the amount of salt which is removed by rinsing alone, definitely worth it. You can even run it through the outboard if you're really worried. Same goes for the trailer. Salt's nothing to be afraid of, but it certainly should command our respect and attention!
