Salt Water & Old Lark 40hp

[mstahl1171]

I spent the weekend with friend on the Murderkill River in Delaware duck hunting. Is there any special maintenace I should do since I was running my old Lark in Salt Water?? I washed the motor down with fresh water and cleaned the boat up after each trip. I even ran the motor in a tub of fresh water to help flush the motor. Anything else I shouold do?? Is it worth putting zinc anodes on these old motors??

You've covered all of the bases, nothing more to do except possibly spray the powerhead etc with WD40 for protection.

Zink anodes wouldn't be needed if you trailer your rig. If leaving the rig in the water, renting dock space etc..... anodes would be a must.
