White something on PSS Shaft Seal coupling
My boat has spent the last 3 months closed up at the dock. I've returned and in getting everything in order, I noticed this white stuff coating the front ring of the seal.

This is freaking me out. Any suggestions as to what this is and how serious an issue it is?

Looks like salt. Ours does that too, spray the water hose on it and watch it dissolve.
