[QUOTE="PSG-1, post: 366228, member: 6937"] Mine stays in saltwater year round. Not sure how many others leave theirs in the SW year-round. But if so, here are a couple of tips: Keep a good coat of the correct bottom paint on there at all times, and install a large zinc on your transom, this will combat much of the galvanic corrosion. Haul out every 2-3 months to inspect the bottom and give everything a good rinse, check lower unit lube, and other periodic maintenance. If you're near a body of freshwater, go run it over there for a little bit. That will flush the engine, and the freshwater will kill any saltwater slime or growth attempting to grow on your hull. That's how we do it around here. [/QUOTE]
