What do you guys use to protect the jet nozzles and all the cables on these jet boats? I have a new 2017 AR240 and I'm looking for anything I can do to protect and maintain it before she sees salt water for the first time. I have the salt terminator to flush and T-9 to spray in the engine compartment now. Thanks in advance.
 
I used fluid film on mine, seemed to work good and didn't have a color to it really...smells nice as well:-)

I was reading up on this and it said that it is a light amber color. Does this change the color on the nozzle gate? How do you spray this without getting it all over the back of the boat?

It does give it a more bronze look. If your careful, I use a shop towel to help with over spray, it hasn't been a problem.

 
I've been using CRC-656 going back to my PWC days with success. I was sent a free sample of Fluid Film some years back and that stuff was excellent but a pain to get without paying a bunch. I can get CRC-656 locally.
 
Liking what I'm reading on the fluid film. Seems like I can eliminate the t-9 spray and use this in the entire engine compartment and also on the jet pump and gate.
 
$10 a can (11oz) isn't to bad from amazon
 
I found FF in Auto Zones in FL. I haven't bought any since I moved to TX but pretty sure I saw some in a local AZ as well.
