Ok guys, is Salt Away snake oil or worth it?
I bought my 100% saltwater used 2004 boat back in 2017 and have since been using it on freshwater here in Kentucky and Ohio and my trips to freshwater in South Carolina for catfishing. My time on salt is very minor now and flushed with freshwater after boat is home at the rental. Motor has not given me any indication of a heat problem, so not sure of the value or expense of Salt Away for my needs. When I've serviced my t-stats, I'm not seeing any major salt deposits in the housings, but that wasn't the case when I first bought it. Both the stats and anodes were in rough shape from lack of service in my opinion, but I service the whole motor each season so I have fresh parts each spring to start out with.
This late in the game with my motor at 1260 hours and primarily freshwater use, not sure I'll benefit any at all using Salt Away.
Here's what my stats and anodes looked like the first time I serviced my motor after purchase. That was 2 seasons ago, not seen that since.
Thoughts??
