Salt Water V. Fresh Water
In article .net,
says...
And if the boat is kept at a salt water mooring for the season?
That's a serious question. I plan on getting reacquainted with small
boats this year or next and the boat will be kept on a mooring for the
season.
Well, that's a different situation isn't it. Once every couple of weeks,
pull up to a water dock do a flush on the motor to try to flush out any salt
buildups and give the boat a good wash down and waxing. Make sure that the
bottom paint you are using is proper for the water and conditions you are
in. You'll probably need to dive or haul out and clean the bottom once a
month even with new paint.
Thank you. It's been thirty years since I've been close up and personal
with a small, well, relatively small, boat. I appreciate any and all
good advice.
Take care
