[QUOTE="rotus623, post: 437650, member: 15266"] Hey guys! Been fishing the heck out of my CC jet. Really enjoying it. We are going to be staying in a house off of the Rappahannock river (Chesapeake Bay watershed) in a week or so. I have looked up the salinity in the section of river that I would be running, and it looks to be 10-12.5% salt content. (.5% is freshwater, whereas 35% is full salt water). There is freshwater available to rinse the trailer, flush the motor, and clean the boat after each trip, which I would be doing. The boat will not stay in the water the whole week. The jet foot has an anode on it. The liner is actually gouged pretty good and I am going to change it when I get back, so I will be removing the impeller and foot off after I return. I don't plan on going into open water with her, but it would be nice to do some fishing in the tributaries that we are staying in. My wife is also hoping to see some dolphins at the mouth of the canal (we see them every year.) With all this info, would you be hesitant to run your freshwater only 4 stroke outboard jet in the brackish? It's not ideal, but man life is short and I wanna take my boat!!!!!! [/QUOTE]
