RE: Another newbie question
I have used my Rio in the ocean and bay areas around the eastern shore of Delaware for months without issues. Several members here run in the salt water. Personally I'm probably 50-50 salt/fresh. Mauian is one who regularally playes in salt. Just wait, he'll find this thread![sm=wink_smile.gif]

RE: Another newbie question
We run in saltwater. Make sure you flush out your engine with fresh water, and spray with wd40. Saltwater WILL rust everything that can rust. Water cooled is the way to go.
