Re: Headin' for the Coast!
Much more care must be taken in the salt. I always flush engine for 3 minutes minimum. Rinse everything from top to bottom, don't start on trailer then rinse salt off boat. Galvanized trailer? I'll bet the springs aren't, give the raw iron extra attention. You ever seen a spring break doing about 60MPH? I'd try to grease everything including motor pivot, trailer bearings, and everywhere you have a grease fitting, you need to flush the salt water out with fresh grease. Don't forget to rinse reels, nets, anchor ropes etc. the salt water tends to make them rot quicker. When rinsing reels use low pressure water, don't want to force the salt into the reel. Have a great time, maybe I'll see you there. You fishing in the bays or the big pond?
