Post Corrosion control
Do you guys spray your motors down with something before you get it in salt water? If so what do you use? Trying to keep the corrosion down although there’s already quite a bit on the block .
Thank you

I hunt 95% in salt water. Have had my 4400HDR since 2017. I spray it down every time when I get back, and then after it is
dried I have a mixture of 1/3 motor oil and 2/3 WD-40 in a spray bottle and spray her down and wipe. The oil helps lube and keeps
the WD-40 on... Motor still looks brand new

The oil helps lube what? I get that it assists with corrosion prevention, but there isn't anything on the external of the engine or frame that needs lubrication. It's all handled by engine oil or grease into an alemite/zerk.

you are correct it doesn't LUBE anything on the outside... misspoke,,, I meant you can use it as LUBE to hit your springs on the carb
