Look After Your Reels and Your Ski
For any newbies to this method of fishing you will soon learn that your reels can get a good amount of salt water over them especially in rough conditions and if you do not look after them they will start to seize up on you, and you can bet at the wrong time.
I give my reels a very quick hose off with fresh water and a healty spray of INOX after every trip and a more thorough clean down once every month. This has seemed to work great for me and other may have varying methods, but I can tell you now if you do nothing they will seize and corrod.
Ski
All the usually care that most would do, but an additional step that provides exceptional protection is to INOX through the inside of you ski after every use (or once a week if using frequently) and around the steering nozel and if you have a Seadoo spray the OPAS springs and hinges as well to ensure they operate properly. This will keep your important parts of your ski in near showroom condition and ensure good reliability and operation.
For any Seadoo owners, ensure flushing on the hose is kept to a minimum (around 10 secs) as certain parts are not cooled when out of the water and connected to a hose due to the Closed Loop Cooling. Maybe a ski mechanic could add to my limited but important knowledge.

A Reel Fix!!
Try this.... a bucket of water with small (but enough) amount of Saltaway or Mac's added. soak for a while then into a bucket of fresh water or rinse off with hose on fine spray setting.
his will get rid of the salt.
Then spray with INOX. if you leave the salt in and then throw in the inox the two mixing together become very abrasive.
