🔍 Key Concepts

• Effects of saltwater on electrical equipment and why salt must be removed quickly • Difference between freshwater rinsing and using solvents/chemicals on electrical insulation • Safe methods of drying electrical motors after they’ve been wet

💭 Think About

• Think about what salt deposits will do inside an electric motor after the water evaporates. What needs to be removed first? • Which options could damage insulation, bearings, or create a fire/toxic hazard rather than preserve the motor? • Which method both removes salt and then safely dries the motor without introducing additional harmful chemicals?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choice deals specifically with removing salt contamination before drying • Eliminate any options that involve toxic or outdated chemicals commonly prohibited on board • Check which procedure is most consistent with standard marine electrical maintenance practices: gentle cleaning + controlled drying, not harsh solvents or immediate rewinding
