If it were my motor I'd put it on the hose and pull the cover off of it and run it a while to see if there is a leak somewhere.

I take my motor and rinse off the salt residue with a weak solution of simple green and water (Like a table spoon in a quart spray bottle) and then a sprtiz with clean water but I don't flood the motor just use the spritz bottle.

It also helps to do this with a warm motor and on a nice dry day so things dry out real well before you slap the cover back on.

The idea here being you want to disolve and rinse away the salt but not the protective oil type spray you have on your motor. I use a Yamaha marine spray which is a lot like CRC.
