So my question is can I install a radiator with an electric fan to
eliminate the salt water altogether? If so, any tips?


Not if you want to be in compliance with USCG and ABYC standards.
It's really not a good idea - check with your insurance company.

It really shouldn't be that difficuly to get your FWC working. My
guess is that the problem is in the leg. There is a procedure that
must be followed when replacing the impeller to make sure that the
water passage stays open.
