We've never owned a boat that is fresh water cooled. All of our boats have been raw water cooled. How long would you let your boat be in salt water in the PNW, given it has a raw water cooled engine?
We're headed to the San Juans for one to two weeks next July. I was hoping the next boat would be FWC, but it isn't. We've never had our boats in the salt water, so we're trying to find out how long before some irreversible damage occurs and we'll wish we'd stopped a few days prior. We'll flush it out in freshwater within hours of slinging it on the trailer after the San Juans. I'm probably just paranoid, but I'd like to see what your guys think having boated in the Sound.
