One other thing you might want to look into is running "Salt Away" through your motor when you flush it as well. When I had my initial service done on my new boat last march the folks at Light House Marine in Gig HArbor swear by it and run it through all the motors they service. You can get it at Wal-Mart or order it from Cabelas.

As far as Salt water fishing tips in the sound, just remember one thing....GREEN!! Green Flasher with: Green Herring hood, Green Spoon, Green Hoochie (although white hoochies work well also),
Green (or Army Truck) Koho Killer.

Good luck with the new boat!
