Hey everyone! Lets share some of the things we do on occasion as preventative/routine maintenance and why. I think this would be a great exchange of ideas!

After every salt-water outing I always spray Salt Away in the rear compartment (the access area next to clean out plug) and then rinse it out well. The exhaust system and hose system(s) are down there and they all have clamps that corrode, rust and then break in half. Always check all the clamps to be sure they are not going to break. After just one year I found two of them that secure the exhaust components lying on the bottom broken in half from rust corrosion. Rinse, Rinse, Rinse is the key for lots of salt water use. You cant rinse it enough!

That's good advice. I will start doing that after every trip. Thanks
