hello all, been an owner a while but taking my 2002 carver mariner 350 down from TN to the GOA.
I have only put 400 hours on it in 13 years and had many things replaced. But is there anything a GOA newbie like me needs to know or have looked at/repaired before I start the trek?
Also I will be keeping it there permanently and not taking it back to freshwater.
Thank you in advance!

Welcome aboard!
Does it have closed cooling for the engines and genny?
And you'll want to flush the other raw salt water systems often.

You might have to consider your anode material. If you were using magnesium in fresh water you will have to switch to aluminum or zinc for salt water.
