Every year $massive amounts of marine motor components is eaten away by salt corrosion. The salt water boating environment with prolonged salt laden winds, ocean spray from breaking waves is tough for any gear to combat. Effective salt removal is critical if you want your gear to last as it was hopefully designed to.
Salt is unique in its ability to cling to surfaces, combine this with its hydroscopic nature and it doesn’t matter how much fresh water you throw a it, a residual amount will be left behind establishing a salt corrosion areas which will end up destroying what ever gear it has adhered to. So complete salt removal is a must, otherwise your expensive boat, plus if you love fishing, your valuable game fishing reels will fail during the catch of a life-time. Even your hooks & lures will suffer, quietly rotting away, then the is your expensive marine electronics!.
Most of the salt corrosion goes on without us seeing it, your meticulous cleaning with fresh water often washes salt into cracks and crevices that are out of sight. Now the salt commences its caustic action, quietly dissolving the surfaces it is in contact with.
So what is the answer to salt removal?
The key to effective salt removal is salt neutralisation; making the salt inert so it has no reactivity and removing the salt crystals that can jamb rigging, winches and fishing reels. This is best done with water soluble salt neutralising solutions, that react with the salt coating the seen and jamming the unseen surfaces, altering its reactivity to stop the salt’s corrosive nature.
The most powerful products for doing this is Salt-X SX50 & Buster 50, they are economic and, highly concentrated and neutralize salt virtually on contact. SX50 & Buster 50 have the capacity to wick into cracks and crevices de-naturing the salt hiding there and halting the corrosive ability of the salt residue. An added benefit is the coating that is left once SX50 & Buster 50 have air dried. This gives the treated equipment enhanced protection and makes salt removal easier next time round. It also leaves important lubricants intact, unlike alternative solvent based products!
So if you are committed to removing salt from your marine motor, start using SX50 & Buster 50 and halt the salt corrosion that is quietly destroying your investment.
