After a day out on the lake or river, your outboard motor may have accumulated brackish or dirty water. This can be harmful to the motor as it can cause corrosion and buildup of debris, which can affect its functionality.

Freshwater contains fewer minerals and pollutants compared to saltwater, making it less corrosive. However, even freshwater can cause some level of corrosion over time. This is especially important for those who frequently use their boat in both salt and freshwater, as salt water can accelerate the corrosion process.
