[QUOTE="richg99, post: 237407, member: 4376"] I flush the engine after every salt outing...better safe than sorry. When I had my bigger boat in a hanging strap type slip, I rigged up an over-the-transom deal and flushed her there, too. That engine had a flusher fitting on the main engine for the hose. ( 150 hp Evinrude) You had best rinse the fittings off on your boat every time. Lots of bass-boat fittings are not the right material to hold up if salt is left on them. Don't worry too much about it and have fun. Do remember that lots of salt water fish have teeth. Don't stick your hand in them to get a hook out.. Get a really long pliers or buy a special long hook-out. regards, R [/QUOTE]
