What to bring for the salt?

[swapmeet]

What is the essential list of things I should take/do to prevent corrosion etc?

I have a flush kit, figure I should use it at the end of each day?
I've read that people hose down the engine bay with WD40 or silicone spray, but I wasn't sure if its important or helpful.


What else?

Silicone spray is your friend, bring spare plugs. Where do you ride in TX ???

WD-40....dielectric grease in ALL of your electrial fittings, and tow loops front and rear of your ski..... You should be golden

I find that a liberal application of fluid film (or any silicon spray) in the bilge beforehand keeps the salt water off pretty well. Rinse with a hose at the end of the day and re-apply the spray.

Salt water can be a big problem if you ignore it, being prepared makes it not such a big deal. Is this your first trip to the surf ???

Seadoo makes a great silicone spray that works really well.

if your boat is right and tight it needs nothing...


just wash it real well at the end of the weekend...

Yeah, first time ever.
Typically ride Lake Grapevine, Lewisville, and Lake Arlington for quick afterwork rides.

I'll have a stainless loop/ring in the front and i'll have a Bow Eye in the rear of the tray.

Do I need any fogging oil?

Margarita Mix?

no fogging oil.

I use Simple Green mixed with water for cleaning.

about 10 parts water to 1 part SG.

 

[Big Kahuna]
