How to use it
Salt Wash Application:
- Preparation: Ensure the boat's exterior is cool to the touch and not in direct sunlight.
- Using the Captain’s Musket:
- Attach the Captain’s Musket to your garden hose.
- Fill the Musket’s reservoir with Salt Wash.
- Spray the solution evenly over the boat’s exterior, starting from the top and working your way down.
- Allow the solution to sit briefly to break down salt and grime.
- Rinse thoroughly with fresh water, ensuring all residue is removed.
Outboard Engine Flush Application:
- Preparation: Ensure your outboard engine is in a vertical position and the engine is cool.
- Using the Captain’s Musket:
- Fill the Captain’s Musket reservoir with the Engine Flush solution.
- Attach the Captain’s Musket to the flushing port on the outboard engine (located near the lower unit) or use muffs if your engine has them.
- Turn on the water source by moving the Captain’s Musket crank handle to the middle setting (water only) before starting the engine.
- Start the engine and let it idle.
- Switch the Captain’s Musket crank handle to forward to activate the flush solution. Do not rev the engine during this process.
- Follow your manufacturer's recommended flush time and allow the engine to run for 5-10 minutes to fully flush out salt, dirt, and other debris.
- Turn off the engine before turning off the water.
- Disconnect the Musket and inspect the engine for water droplets or salt deposits. For added protection, wipe it down with a clean cloth.
- Personal Watercraft (PWC) Flush Application:
- Preparation: Ensure your PWC is on a trailer or lift with the engine turned off.
- Using the Captain’s Musket:
- Fill the foam gun’s reservoir with the Engine Flush solution.
- Locate the flush port on your PWC (usually found at the rear or side of the craft).
- Attach the garden hose securely to the flush port.
- Start the PWC engine before turning on the water source.
- Move the Captain’s Musket crank handle forward to the soap mix setting, allowing the flush solution to circulate through the cooling system for 2-3 minutes. Do not exceed this time, as PWC engines should not run for extended periods without being in the water (check your manufacturer’s recommended flush times).
- Turn off the water first before turning off the PWC engine.
- Detach the hose and flush the kit, draining excess water from the cooling system.
- Wipe down the exterior of the PWC with a clean towel to remove any remaining water spots or salt residue.

After spending a week by the beach, my car was covered in salt spray. Following the user instructions, I applied the detergent using the Salty Gun and found it to be a brilliant product. It washed off all the salt crystals and after using it as well as the other products my car shone like it was brand new.

Living in northwest Ohio can take a toll on vehicles, especially personal vehicles that you do your best to take care of while still working with it. I snow plow with my personal vehicle so it gets very dirty and very salty. After the first wash I was highly impressed. I put Salty Captain soap in a foam cannon on a pressure washer and soaked my truck and let it sit accordingly. The soap foamed very well and provided a great coat on my truck. I feel as though it got rid of the salt and road grime very well. I’m excited to use it further and hope it makes the truck I take a lot of pride in last longer!
