Stop Salt Corrosion Dead In Its Tracks

HOW MUCH MONEY AND TIME DO YOU SPEND A YEAR ON YOUR ENGINE?

YOU CHANGE THE FILTER’S, SPARK PLUGS, OILS, SO YOUR ENGINE IS IN TIP TOP CONDITION?

YOU EVEN CHANGE THE IMPELLER SO YOU’RE ENGINE PUMPS ENOUGH WATER TO KEEP THE ENGINE COOL?

BUT WHAT ABOUT THE INSIDE OF YOUR ENGINE, ALL THE LITTLE GALLERIES WHERE THE WATER FLOWS TO KEEP YOUR ENGINE COOL.

DO YOU THINK FLUSHING YOUR ENGINE WITH FRESH WATER WILL REMOVE ALL THE SALT FOR THOSE GALLERIES?

WELL IT WILL IF YOU MIX SALT-X, WITH IT!

SALT-X IS A WATER BASED CLEANER THAT IS DESIGNED TO REMOVE SALT FROM ANY SURFACE.

I KNOW WHAT YOU ALL ARE GOING TO SAY?

OF COURSE YOU’RE GOING TO SAY IT'S THE BEST THING SINCE SLICED BREAD, BECAUSE YOU’RE TRYING TO SELL THE STUFF TO US, AND YOUR’E NOT WRONG,

I AM TRYING TO SELL SALT-X TO YOU?

AS WE ALL KNOW ALL ENGINES PUMP SEA WATER TO KEEP COOL, AND SEA WATER HAS SALT IN IT
AND WHEN YOU STOP YOUR ENGINE MOST OF THE WATER RUNS OUT BUT WHAT ABOUT THE WATER
THAT STAYS TRAPPED BEHIND, BECAUSE THE ENGINE IS HOT THE WATER EVAPORATES LEAVING SALT
CRYSTALS BEHIND IN THE WATER WAYS, AND THIS EVERY TIME YOU USE YOUR BOAT.

OK IF YOU FLUSH YOUR ENGINE OUT AFTER EACH TIME YOU TAKE YOUR BOAT OUT, THEN YOU MIGHT KEEP THE WATER WAY’S CLEAR?


BUT LET’S BE REAL IT’S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN IS IT?

A 1LTR SUPER CONCENTRATED BOTTLE OF SALT-X WILL MAKE 16 GALLONS OF USEABLE PRODUCT AND AT £12.00 WITH p & p THAT’S £0.75P PER GALLON

IF YOUR BOAT IS UP FOR REPAIR’S OR IF LIKE MINE LIVES ON A TRAILER ALL YOU NEED TO DO IS PUT THE LEG IN A CONTAINER MAKE A SALT-X MIX, RUN THE ENGINE AND KEEP AN EYE ON THE TEMPERATURE WHEN IT GETS WARM, STOP AND LET THE WATER IN THE CONTAINER COOL DOWN.

THE BOAT EXCHANGE IN GUERNSEY TOOK A SMALL OUTBOARD IN, AS IT STOPPED PUMPING WATER EVEN WITH A NEW IMPELLER, HE PUT SALT-X IN HIS SERVICE TANK AND LET IT RUN, WHEN HE CAME BACK THE ENGINE WAS PUMPING WATER PERFECTLY.
