I bought a 1992 Stratos 289 FS with an Evinrude 200XP about 2 years ago and have only used it in freshwater. I would like to take it down to the coast maybe once a year to fish in the sound/intracoastal waterway to try to catch some flounder, trout, and drum. But I have no clue what/if there is a difference in engines used in saltwater vs freshwater as well as components on the boat. It has an evinrude trolling motor as well. Are there tolling motors that are specific to saltwater? I just want to make sure I'm not doing something stupid and end up ruining my boat (which is actually in really good shape for its age).
I know that everything would need to be washed down well and the motor flushed, but are those the main things to know when putting a boat in saltwater? Thanks for the help!
