CRC Salt terminator

[njmr2fan]

So I stopped into a local boat shop just to check it put and while browsing I saw a CRC product called salt terminator. Guessing it's like salt away I started reading it and long story short the guy says it's good to clean the boat with. Told the guy I have a jet boat that I only use in the lake and he said, fresh water will corrode your engine components same as salt. You should be using it. I'm a noob, there was no sale to me, but any merit to what this guy said?

I would flush it at least once a month with salt away or similar just for calcium build up. I had a issue with my other fresh water 2014 sx210 which was a keep at a marina that did not flush engines after I used it. Long story short that boat needed 2 new engines after 100 hrs only from clogged cooling ports and overheating. I sold it and flush my engines every time with hose at home and salt away every 3rd time. Don't know if it works but can't hurt.

Fresh water contains a high mineral and sediment content. Both are bad for our relatively small cooling passages. I'm not going to say flush with salt a way but you guys should flush after use. A little shot of dawn in the flush out port will do us well also.

Is there some kind of mixing container I can attach between my hose and the boat to fill with soap or something? Kind of like the garden sprayers you attach to your hose and add plant food into until the water runs clear?

Is there some kind of mixing container I can attach between my hose and the boat to full with soap or soemthing? Kind of like the garden sprayers you attach to your hose and add plant food into until the water runs clear?

Why yes there is...https://jetboaters.net/threads/never-again-you-pos-salt-away-dispenser.6043/#post-114617

I would recommend dawn detergent. It's perfectly safe for the water. That's what they use to clean marine life and shoreline after an oil spill.

For added corrosion cleanup, besides the dawn dish soap add household white vinegar, I use equal parts of each.

I use this unit and after 3 years have had no issues, http://www.amazon.com/CRC-Terminato...sim_200_4?ie=UTF8&refRID=156W5E76G7T6YXV60VQJ . I also use it on the water supply to my electric pressure washer without issue.
