I guess there must be something especially bad about Pacific Northwest
salt water vs other sal****er. Is suspect it would depend upon
the generator, the swim platform, and the cover. Also, maintenence
might have an impact.

If you had a large generator sitting on the swim deck all the time . . .
it
might work if you never left the slip, and your moorage is calm and
protected.
I can't imagine running in salt water in Pacific Northwest and not ruining
the
generator in one season . . . or less.
