I've always coated the outside with WD40. Don't know if it's best, but felt it was better than nothing.

Merc makes a product called corrosion gusrd that comes in a spray can. Works great but it leaves a nasty residue that you will never tottaly get rid of, the engines stay kinda sticky with a yellowish coating forever.

Hi,
Victory power boat team use a product called Morris MD4 and at the end of the race they cover virtually everything in it. Whilst we do not distribute the product we ship to dubai for victory by the pallet load . The product is like a WD40 but the difference is that they include petroleum jelly in the formula. This has the benefit of wetting to the surface and giving maximum protection and displacing water. The product is also excellent for electrics as well. I use this product and it is not messy we also use it when rebuilding engines to protect parts from corrosion. I am sure that you can get this in the USA , but if not then try Wurth to see is they have a generic. I bet that they Do.
Good luck
Jules

I've always sprayed everything down with WD-40, or CRC. Then coated a few cloths lightly, and layed them in and around the area. The cloths will absorb the moisture.

Not quite true - in fact I was cleaning it off some components last night. TFR, Traffic Film Remover, Truck Cleaner, Truck Curtain Cleaner (all the same stuff) gets it off very easily, along with all dirt and grease. Works as effectively as engine degreaser on normal grease, but is water soluble, and much less of a pain to use. Put on neat it cleans anything. Not sure what's it's sold as in the US, but this should point you in the right direction:

Thanks for the info, I have always been very happy with the way the Merc brand product preforms just didn't like the residue. I'll see if I can get some of this stuff and give it a try.
