That Boeshield T-9 is great as a water displacer, but you might want to shoot it with some Corrosion X ...

FluidFilm is very similar to Corrosion X, but must also be shaken frequently. I've been using it for years, spraying the motor 4 or 5 times a year. It feels like oily paraffin. These are essential products for boats that live in saltwater.

I carry 3 on my Seafari as well: one on the bulkhead by the helm, one on the riser in front of the motor well, and one under the passenger side seat. In 40+ years of boating, I've twice needed an extinguisher. Once when a friends 302 Formula blew oil out of the breather and caught fire, and once when a nearby boat had an outboard motor catch fire when the owner sprayed ether into an overheated motor. The first one had a non-functioning automatic halon system, and burned to the waterline, the second one we put out with my extinguisher, took the plastic bag off the lower unit, and he drove it home.
