Every year $heaps of boating equipment is destroyed by salt corrosion. The salt water boating environment with the ever present salt laden winds, ocean spray from breaking waves is tough for any equipment to combat. Effective salt removal is vitally important if you don’t want to watch your expensive equipment fail.
Salt is unique in its ability to cling to surfaces, combine this with its capacity to absorb atmospheric moisture and it doesn’t matter how dilligent you are in trying to get rid of it, a percentage is still left behind to continue a salt corrosion zones which will end up erroding what ever gear it has adhered to. So total salt removal is a must, otherwise your valuable boat, plus if you love fishing, your valuable game fishing reels will fail during the catch of a life-time. Even your terminal tackle will suffer, quietly rusting away, then the is your expensive marine electronics!.
Much of the salt corrosion goes on out of site, your conscientious cleaning with fresh water often forces salt into cracks and crevices that are out of view. Now the salt commences its caustic action, quietly destroying the metals it is in contact with.
So what is the solution to salt removal?
The key to comprehensive salt removal is salt neutralisation; making the salt totally inert and passive and removing the salt crystals that can lock up rigging, winches and fishing reels. This is best implemented with powerful salt neutralising solutions, that react with the salt coating your equipment, altering its reactivity to stop the salt’s corrosive tendencies.
The most effective products for doing this is Salt-X SX50 & Buster 50, they are economic and, highly concentrated and neutralize salt virtually on contact. SX50 & Buster 50 have the ability to penetrate deep into cracks and crevices killing the salt deposits and arresting the salt corrosion cycle.
