Finally, many, many craft are made with polyester resin, which will blister from osmosis when left in direct contact with salt water, even in the 'damp' conditions of a boat bag.Next you have active components like MerCathode that must be switched off when the units are not immersed, or else they can accelerate issues.Not flushing legs, housings and so forth in fresh water, means the salt sits, and then becomes terribly acidic as it feeds on oxygen now in far greater supply than when immersed, and the result, well, corrosion is nasty and expensive.Certainly stern drives (inboard/outboards or Z-Drives) and outboards are very much part of this, especially as a lot of craft powered in these ways use boat bags.Now this is crucial because a lot of your boat's equipment is either meant to be in, or completely out of, the salt water, not left in between!.
