Most of the water close by me , such as chrystal river would be mild salt from the gulf , strong brachish lets say.
My husband about flips out when i want to take it out scalloping. Says the salt will hurt the wiring underneath etc. i say we hose it down when we get home. he says will help but still will have salt. Whats the opinion?

I say "salt water is not acid". A good wash and flush the engine, you'll be fine.

You got the boat to have fun with. Enjoy it in the way you would like.

Sea ya...
