Can one of you tell us how you dealt with the salt water, and the boat cooling systems, trailer, etc?
They have wash out stations at the ramp. I spray wd40 on my trailer wheels brakes and springs before we launch. I also spray the blower and flame arrester. They are exposed to the salt spray and it makes them easier to clean later.
Once off the water I just run the boat on the hose for five minutes to flush the motor and inner cooler. Then a good thorough wash of the boat and trailer and your all done.
Ideally the best thing would be to take the boat to a local lake the next day and dip it. This would more thoroughly flush the trailer. The salt ads a bit more work to the after boating routine but it is worth it every once in a while.
