[QUOTE="scoobeb, post: 419270, member: 6843"] I was trying to find some research on rinsing down my outboards powerhead with a freshwater mist from my hose,there is mixed opinions so I was wondering if anyone here does that after using it in saltwater. I use mine primarily in saltwater(say 95%)so I read that rinsing it off gently won't hurt a thing. From all I've read is come home do the powerhead rinse first then run it on muffs to warm it up to dry it off,plus I have the fl sun. Anyone do this???? I also use super tech lubricant from Walmart as a protective dressing for over 20yrs but I like the idea of rinsing it off first. I know to cover up the carb and coils,plus the computer,I would think all the rest is waterproof. Any opinions?????. [/QUOTE]
