deepcove nailed it, make sure u have the zincs its a must if ur gonna be leaving it in the water. Also if you can have the hull painted with that saltwater black paint to prevent things from growing on it, do it.

It is not a must, but it does kep the raw salt water from ever coming in contact with you block....so for me personally it is a must. Having said this many people run their boats for years in salt water without closed cooling and never have a problem.
