Cleaning engine

[popesterb]

I had a hose clamp break on my overboard water indicator which has sprayed salt water on the inside of my engine.<br /><br />Any advise on products to use to clean the engine. It is all just surface stuff but there are salt deposits on metal and plastic.<br /><br />Thanks.

Fresh water.

Spray the motor down with simple green and wipe away as much as you can.<br />Rinse with fresh water taking care to avoid electronics.<br />Apply water displacing product like wd-40 after motor dries.

You first need to run that engine for at least 1/2 hour to make sure that any of the salt water did not get sucked into the engine and if any did that the machine surfaces are well coated with oil. I lost a V4 due to salt water injestion so been ther and - - - - -
