Are there any thoughts on problems I might encounter by moving my 21' Hydrasport with Johnson OB engine from salt water to fresh? What if wanted to go in the reverse?

Many thanks

None! It is a good thing for your rig. IMHO

Just make sure you change out all the stainless hardware for Zamac and chrome over plastic and you should be good to go. :p
