Yeah I agree, they work. I use the "salty captain" boat wash and engine flush. I picked up a "salt attack" applicator which is basically the same as the salty captain "gun" but half the price and I use that with the "earmuffs" to flush the engine. The boat I do with the gerni with the bottle attachment on it and an inch or so of the solution in the bottle, then swap it out for the spray nozzle to rinse. Like you say, it comes out looking new for very little effort, and I figure if it works that well on outside of the boat it must be doing some good inside the engine too. Hot tip: use it on the back end of your tow vehicle too. Most people forget it.
Let your engine run until the thermostat opens, then let the Salty Captain fluid run onto the engine. Otherwise, it's not making its way into the water galleries after the thermostat. Generally takes 5 -7 minutes running for the thermostat to open.
Thats an absolute myth. What you're suggesting is the thermostat is closed. It's never fully closed its just a blockage to slow the flow down to get the motor to operating temp. This is why all manufacturers advise not using muffs and only use the flush ports as most household water pressure is that poor it probably does more harm than good
Here’s a hot tip, Don’t add water to the reservoir, just put about 4cm from the bottoms of just the wash!! It foams up way more and it actually lasts longer!! Make sure you come back and thank me Edit; another hot tip, use the petrol blower to dry off the boat, takes less than ten seconds
It's a hard one i fell into the hype bought some as I want my boat to stay well maintained but my opinion is it's not as effective as saltway or a good scrub down it's not as harsh saltway which is good in a way, used the captains boat wash on my boat it didn't preform the best on the wind screen everywhere else seemed ok but for the price tag I'd expect better i washed the screen two time decently with the recommendation by them there was salt still on the screen when left to dry the new musket is useful in a way mostly the soap and wash separations ability but the foaming ability is trash so buy a proper hose foam cannon for washing and use the musket to flush I don't rate the captains boat wash to highly for what they charge id recommend the motor flush they sell so in the end salty captains motor flush and the musket for flushing is the only thing worth it also just to note the motors tell tail ran harder with no musket on the flushing muffs so abit of restriction is there, if you want a good wash buy repco Eclipse Extra Dirty 5L it's only $30 for 5 liters I was surprised by the large amount for low cost it's made for boats aswell has rust and corrosion inhibitors paired with a $60 ryobi pressure washer and $12 ryobi foam cannon the boat gets snowed up well all that and its cheaper then salty captains 5L refill 😂
Yeah totally agree, this stuff is getting a bit pricey! I have severly bad shoulders so can barely scrub at all but I only use it at the end of a fishing weekend for example to conserve it
I use salt away in a foam cannon works great can’t do my interior like that tho as I have carpet but all over boat engine and trailer and wipe down inside
Boy you did not read those instructions at all. I mean great video, thanks to you i bought this product and is working really good, but reading instructions is a must.
Ct18 is my favourite. Problem is on boats with gelcoat it can take the wax off. I use it on my tinny and use the musket from this kit. You can get 20L from supercheap for like $50 lasts years.
Desalt from withworth been using for years,best works really well I had seized jetski engine ,so i dismantled fully and found out inside water holes for.cooling engine were filed with hard salt,so tryed every chemical to loosed salt and nothing worked So i got desalt solution ,soaked well ,after hour,those holes were clean as from factory,
Hey mate. What setting did you have your gun on when applying? I have mine on setting 2 as they say to do but I find the solution is gone and have only applied on 1 side of the boat
I let it dry by itself, but if any water pools in the back corners I use an old towel to dry it out. You don't want any large amount of water, even fresh, ever sitting in the boat.
Sorry to rub the salt in😸 I luckily was fortunate enough to take advantage of that sale a couple of hours ago, can’t wait to get into it, brilliant video demo mate, I’m sold after being so skeptic for so long. 👍🏼
yep, you do have way more crevice's than I do on my boat. But, there has to be a home-made solution that'll do the same for next to nothing ($). Like 'one drop', of Dawn soap, in the spray jug. ❓
rubber floor mat, bar flap, storm cover with zip open area near transom door. to also be used for overnighting. more non stick deck grip all the way to the front. just overall more comfort and ready to overnight
Love the stuff 👍🏼
Makes the chore of cleaning up after a big day on the water so much more bearable (especially when your mates run for the hills 😂)
yes absolutely!!! and that has happet to me alot in the past also.hahha

Yeah agree! Plenty of options now for the application. Even spray guns for sale at aldi now..... Just buy and add formula

Yes 😂😂😂 we learned a valuable lesson indeed. Actually read the instructions. Also forgot to use the two rubber o-rings to stop leaking
I use CT18, been doing this for the last 20 years with dirtbikes and boats. Use CT20 mate, cheaper and better.
Cool will check it out!

Wow that's amazing, good stuff!
How do you clean the ballast under the floor ? Just hose it out ?
Yes if you wanted to, tbh I've never cleaned it. If you are going to clean it, spray some salt away etc in there also
Nice video again! Just curious having never owned fibreglass boats, but do fibreglass boats involve much more maintenance compared to aluminium boats?
yes they do in my opinion. they fade quickly and can scratch and chip easier. but I mean if you are fit, well and strong it wouldn't be an issue....
Yes absolutely agree.... People think alloy lasts for ever. It doesn't
bs all of my boats are aluminum saltwater grade and they will last much longer than any of those plastic boats

Hey mate. What setting did you have your gun on when applying? I have mine on setting 2 as they say to do but I find the solution is gone and have only applied on 1 side of the boat
Yeah basically 1, the lowest
Nice video. Do u let the boat dry naturally or do u dry it with a towel after?
I let it dry by itself, but if any water pools in the back corners I use an old towel to dry it out. You don't want any large amount of water, even fresh, ever sitting in the boat.
Is this salt away or salty captain? They are different.
Salty captain....
Good as I just received my salty captain package a few days ago, $400 worth, and just my luck, 2 days later they have a massive sale on 🤷🏻♂️
omg!!!! ohwell atleast you will love the product
Sorry to rub the salt in😸 I luckily was fortunate enough to take advantage of that sale a couple of hours ago, can’t wait to get into it, brilliant video demo mate, I’m sold after being so skeptic for so long. 👍🏼
yep this stuff is the real deal. has massively simplified my posts boating sagas!
How does it look once dried off
Any water spots etc?
looks good, no water spots etc. overall very impressed tbh
Thanks.
Look at that, don't even care 🤣
yep, you do have way more crevice's than I do on my boat. But, there has to be a home-made solution that'll do the same for next to nothing ($). Like 'one drop', of Dawn soap, in the spray jug. ❓
hahha. well I think the magic, active ingredient is the sulfamic acid.
@@BaitBallin hmmmm....time to search ingredients.
And thats why Australia has a water shortage 😂
hi mate put the deposit down on the 615 HT today at blakes also seen your boat there last sunday
awesome! yep getting some nice little mods done, pick her up tomorrow. HT all the way well done.
@@BaitBallin what u get done
rubber floor mat, bar flap, storm cover with zip open area near transom door. to also be used for overnighting. more non stick deck grip all the way to the front.
