My boat has been insected by the CG and they dont look at the carb itself but you better have a flame suppressor on it,, I dont know of any special anti salt water carb.. my boat is a fresh water boat but I have worked on plenty of salt water boats.. their big thing is they have a heat exchanger to cool

The screen is pretty specific as to sizing and material (sorry, I don't know the data). It works on a principle invented by Sir Humphrey Davies in the 19th century to prevent coal mine explosions. There is always very fine coal dust in the air, and an open lamp (oil, acetylene, etc.) flame will set it off. The improved "safety" lamp has a fine metal screen shielding the flame itself. It prevents the propagation of a dust flame inside the screen from passing through and blowing up the mine by losing its heat to the screen itself. If you're going to make one, try to get as close to a real one as possible, especially as to mesh size. Too large a screen opening will do no good, and probably get noticed by CG.

Because of the vent tube arrangement the calibration can be a bit different. anything that can affect bowl pressure can change the calibration needed.
