That's why all my boats have a fresh water input installed on them.



Just plug in the hose and start it up. I will say that even though I am religious about flushing after 8 or 9 years I just had to replace the block and head castings this winter in my 496. Everything only lasts so long.

I would be interested to know what Potters opinion is on the best way to flush... I have just been using the muff's for years, sometimes with Salt-away, sometimes without (you run out sometimes). Are the muffs any better/worse than using a system like what f_inscreenname has set up??? I'll admit that the set up above would be way easier than trying to put muffs on when the boat is on the lift.

Glad I boat on the Great Lakes. Just back the boat into the garage after a long day of offshore boating.

I have a question, why don't they have a closed cooling system on the high dollar engines?
