yeh that's what i expected, the tap connectors are normally hand tight, had to put a plumbers wrench on to tighten it
tried 4 different ones, not x threaded ...
as salt water is so corrosive recon it is good use of my money

I have one, but can't remember what I used to make the connection. I know I have a small length of hose I think going to a spray head.
Next time I am down I will take a look.

Personally I think it is great. You literally just need to lightly spray over the boat, leave for a few mins and it disolves the salt away.
I also used to connect to my outboard when I had one to to flush it through.A bottle lasted ages.

Is this stuff any good? I’ve just bought a boat that has been sitting in the Med for years and I’m bringing back home to a fresh water lake. It needs a serious wash before I compound and polish it. Is it worth doing a Salt Off or Salt Away treatment?

personally I don't think it will add any value to what you are looking to do Dino. From my experience, it is best used to remove salt after arriving back from a trip out.

for sure, but salt crystals do not rinse off the hull, needs a wipe
so i am assuming that they dont all rinse out of the OB
