Boats that will be operated in salt water—or brackish fresh water—require
several alterations to ensure that they will continue to operate properly. While care
and maintenance are critical for all boats, those that are run in salt water require
even more attention to detail.
Salt or polluted fresh water can quickly damage the boat, including corrosion
that can result in the serious threat to the well-being of boaters.
Boats that have been operated in polluted fresh water or
in salt water should be thoroughly rinsed with clean, fresh
water after an outing. The corrosive properties of this
type of water can cause damage that is not covered under
warranty. Hardware that is damaged by brackish or salt water can eventually fail, which
could cause malfunction of the hardware, even hardware chosen for its anti-corrosive
properties, and/or the components that are held in place by the hardware, which could result in serious
injury or death to persons on-board.
