Boat: 2575 QCW **No Saltwater Kit**
Quandary: Mostly frequent fresh water bodies in the west. Thought, though, that it might be cool to take the Q out in Newport Beach Harbor and Mission Bay, San Diego (salt water bodies). Should I?
Questions:
1. is salt water such a big negative that I should try to avoid it at all costs? Will running it occasionally in salt significantly shorten boat component lifetimes?
2. If it is no big deal, should I add the salt water components? Or can I run it in salt water and just clean and flush it well?
3. What does the salt water kit consist of?
Thanks,
JP
