Engine cleaning after salt use

[Superflylover]

Newbie. Just took a day on the saltwater with the Spark. Instinct is to gently rinse engine compartment, but as I went to do that it occurred to me that I will never get that dried out, with the foam blocks and tight compartment. What do you all do for the engine area after salt use. It seems amazingly sealed, and I didn’t submerge. Is it possible I actually don’t need to do anything in there if it stayed dry? I would be happily surprised if that were the case. Thanks

The best method is to flush the engine and rinse everything with a salt neutralizer like Salt-Away.

Then spray the engine with a protectant like the seadoo spray and let the compartment air dry for a couple days with it open.

Perfect, that’s what I thought, just looked at that small opening and the foam blocks in there and second guessed it. Appreciate the help.
