frankc,
I know that my Suzuki has a fairly water tight hood and I would suppose the other brands are the same. Water inside the hood would almost have to enter through the air intake opening or the hood was loose. I have had waves breaking onto the back of my engine and never got enough salt residue under the hood to worry about.
Corrosion Guard is a good product to buy. You can coat all the effected parts after cleaning them. I would start with Salt Away or similar product, avoid spraying the engine with hose water. Rinse lighty with fresh water not under pressure, let dry and then apply WD-40 or corrosion guard. Modern engines are pretty easy to keep clean and solid state ignition and fuel injection make water intrusion not much of a problem anymore.
