Re: Saltwater flush procedure for 1997 XR6 150hp?
I run my boat in salt water all the time, what I do, I use salt-away. I hooked up a quick connect, with a shut off that stays on the engine, the other half of the quick connect goes on my salt-away flusher. After using the boat, (every time), I half fill the salt-away flusher with the solution, hook it to the hose plug the quick connects together open the valve on the engine part of the connecter, set the flusher to rinse, (Water only), for a couple of minutes, then reset the flusher to soap,(solution), run it through until it's almost stops pouring foam, & shut off hose. Disconnect hose & flusher leaving a slight residue of solution in the engine. Then shut off valve in engine side of quick connect. I like salt-away it seems to work for me, though some say it may be no better than dish washing liquid, that I don't know. I recomend it. You can get the cheap quick connect at home depot, I've used that one for 10 years, no problems. Good Luck, Joe
