CRC Salt Terminator Engine Flush, Cleaner & Corrosion Inhibitor, 10 oz - CRCC03176
CRC Salt Terminator (CRCC03176) is a heavy duty corrosion inhibitor formulated to seal out salt air and moisture before they can attack metal components. It goes on as a liquid and dries into a flexible amber coating that will not crack or craze over time, so the protective film stays intact through vibration, heat cycling, and repeated exposure to marine air. Because the coating remains flexible rather than becoming brittle, it holds up on parts that move or flex, which is where rigid coatings typically fail and let corrosion start.
Salt Terminator is designed for use on engine components, electrical connections, fasteners, and steering and throttle linkages, giving it broad utility anywhere on a boat where metal is exposed to salt air and moisture. It contains no silicone components, which matters on engines because silicone residue can migrate and interfere with oxygen sensor performance. This makes it a suitable choice for treating connectors, terminals, and hardware in and around the engine bay without introducing the risks that silicone-based sprays can carry. The product is packaged in a 10 oz size for shop or onboard use.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is CRC Salt Terminator used for? CRC Salt Terminator (CRCC03176) is a heavy duty corrosion inhibitor that seals out salt air and moisture to prevent corrosion on metal components, electrical connections, engine components, fasteners, and steering and throttle linkages.
Does Salt Terminator contain silicone? No, CRCC03176 contains no silicone components, so it will not introduce silicone residue that can harm oxygen sensors.
Will the coating crack or become brittle over time? The coating produced by CRC Salt Terminator is flexible and is formulated so it will not crack or craze, allowing it to hold up on parts that move or vibrate.
What color is the protective coating? CRC Salt Terminator dries to a flexible amber coating on the treated surface.
What size does CRC Salt Terminator come in? CRCC03176 is available in a 10 oz size.
Can I use this product on electrical connections? Yes, electrical connections are one of the specific applications listed for CRC Salt Terminator, along with engine components and fasteners.
Is Salt Terminator safe to use on steering and throttle linkages? Yes, steering and throttle linkages are among the recommended use areas for CRC Salt Terminator, CRCC03176.
Is CRC Salt Terminator safe for use near oxygen sensors? Because CRCC03176 contains no silicone components, it avoids the silicone contamination that can harm oxygen sensors.
What problem does CRC Salt Terminator solve on boats? It is designed to seal out salt air and moisture, which is the primary cause of corrosion on marine metal components, electrical connections, and hardware.
Is this a spray-on or brush-on product? CRC Salt Terminator (CRCC03176) is applied as a liquid that dries into a flexible protective coating over treated surfaces.
