I have a TLDI 50. Wondering if it's ok to rinse the powerhead with fresh water or if I'd do any damage to the electronics, etc. Getting a little salt build up on some of the hoses / wiring.
Thanks,
Matt

Doesn't hurt anything.

My answers are like Zen...It may not be the answer you want, but it is generally the answer you need.
The 3 Rules:
1) Look in your service manual first...Then ask me if it is correct.
2) Understand that your desire to repair your engine does not mean that you have the ability to do so.
3) If you are confused, take your engine into a dealer..Then let them be confused...At least, in theory, they sent someone to outboard 101.
Right. Just don't go nuts with a pressure washer, that could push water past o-ring seals on the wiring connectors.

I wash mine every year. I also make sure its all dry before I start it up. I blow it off and Let it dry a couple of days before starting, though that's probably overkill.
Apply W-40 on small brush and brush paint all parts from time to time, will avoid salt formations & corrosion. That way will extend product well where needed avoiding flooding engine with excessive W-40 burst sprays. As there is no product waste, can will last much looonger...
