Default DIY Intercooler Flush Kit

Recently I purchased a Superchiller intercooler system for my 575SCi. Since I do most of my boating in the ocean I was concerned about the Intercooler Core getting corroded. To help with the longevity of the intercooler core I purchased some hardware from Home Depot to create this flush kit. The parts only ran me about 18.00.

I am not sure what everyone else is using but I thought I would share my idea. If you have a cool idea please share it for everyone.

My self and few others who ocean boat flush coolers as you do for longevity. But we out the hose up against the duo and flush it that way. Nothing special needed other the. The hose and decent water pressure. It comes out the pick up and done.

Yes that works. I just like to multi-task and let the water run through the intercooler for a few mins. By the way how long have you had your intercooler running in the Salt Water?
