Living in he Great White North we see a lot of ice in cockpits. There is only one way to get rid of it.

Reposition the boat in question to under a palm tree. 
Seriously, I have NEVER heard of anyone using salt to advance melting.
Chipping away is an option if there's a real risk of leaking into the cabin or worse the engine compartment but this is what EVERYONE here does...
Hope for an early spring
