Salt and Hard Water Operation
All Indmar Marine engines are capable of operating in brackish
or salt water as well as in hard water or water with high mineral
content as long as certain precautions and maintenance
procedures are followed. Your dealer will be aware if the local
freshwater lakes in your area will require any special precautions
to keep your engine functioning properly. Damage to the engine,
both internal and external, that is a result of inadequate salt or
hard water maintenance will not be covered under the Indmar
Limited Warranty.
External Care
Your engine has been carefully primed and painted to protect
it against rust and corrosion. To keep your engine looking like
new, Indmar recommends applying an anti-corrosion compound.
Regular application (every 3 months) of this protectant, particularly
on exposed metal surfaces, motor mounts and electrical
connections, will displace water and seal the surfaces against
penetration by corrosive agents. Rinsing the engine with fresh
water between applications of the protectant will further protect the
exposed surfaces.

Fresh Water Cooling – Half Systems
A fresh water cooling system that uses anti-freeze in the engine
but raw water in the exhaust manifolds is referred to as a half-
system. Although the engine is protected, it is still important to
flush the engine with fresh water to remove as much salt water
as possible from the raw water side of the cooling system as well
as from the exhaust manifolds and risers. For more convenient
flushing, ask your dealer about permanently installing a flushing
device that allows easy connection of a water hose.
