Service intervals on the South Fork's fresh and brackish water
The South Fork swings between fresh and brackish with rainfall and releases, and that swing is rough on cooling systems. Scale, sediment, and corrosion trade off depending on what is coming down the river. Anodes are part of the picture too, since the right anode for salt is not the right one for fresh.
That is why we check anodes and cooling during every 100-hour visit. Palm City boaters with outboards in the canals running toward the St. Lucie Inlet get the same service as any other boat we cover. Inboard engines are a separate service. Palm City is 20 to 30 minutes from Port St. Lucie, but it is outside the no-fee cities, so travel cost is quoted upfront.
