I find salt water very hard on cords and cracks them over time, I use aquarium safe silicone lube on the cord that's in the s/w to help keep them supple. Power cords on used equipment should be looked at closely and avoided if they show signs of cracking near the equipment they run IMO. Oh ya I've been power punched as well ouch!!!
