Intracoastal - How brackish/salty?
 
How salty is the intracoastal? I live in Delray Beach and keep my boat on a lift. I run it every weekend but do I need to flush it every weekend?

BTW - I have closed cooling so it is only running thru my risers but is the intracoastal not salty enough to matter?

Any Salt should be flushed, maybe at a different frequency, but it should be done regularly

Delray is all salt water, Flush after every use. When my boat is in the water I flush for 20min. on each motor. My lift is in Boynton

Just as salty as the ocean. Flush every use.

So, if it's yellow let it mellow. If it's brown flush it down?
