you guys, [like me], who operate in salt water...
what do you do at the end of your boating day to your remote box, [throttle and shift cable quadrant, and start key and choke], to keep it protected?
after flushing my motor, i usually mist it down with wd40, [i buy it by the gallon a "big orange racing supply"], and i've also been doing that to the quadrant as well, spraying down between the throttle and shift levers. i try not to hose down that area too much with water, because i don't want to short out the starter and choke wiring.
that said, i've only been into boating for a little over a year, and i just made up that technique, so i don't know if it's effective or not. heck, it might even be bad for the electronics in there. what do you all think?
i suppose this could be in another forum, but i mostly use evinrudes and johnsons, so i took a chance and put it here.
