In-water dockage in Florida waters

Hi:
Just moved to Ft. Lauderdale from Boston.  We have a 2013 250 SLX single 300 Mercruiser I/O.  We have an in-water dock and have hull scraped of barnicles monthly.  Lately having over heating isssue - replaced impeller, still goes into safety mode so line could have pieces of old impeller, could be manifolds, maybe sensor...anyway..question is...new maintenance service said boat should not be stored in water - need lift or dry storage (we know that would be preferrable but we have a dock) the guy said FL waters will rot out components and start to eventually leak.  We had boat in ocean in Boston 6 months a year with no issues.  I know water warmer and more salinic here but what are best ways to maintain a boat like ours in the water in FL?  We use the 1 - 3 times per week.  Thanks.
