Hey guys,
What are you guys with I/O engines that keep your boats in the water full time doing (if anything) to flush your engines? I've got a closed cooling system (5.7 Mercruiser MAG Horizon) that pulls in salt water into a heat exchanger. There currently is no fresh water flush option available -- using muffs is basically not possible while in the water.
I read online about the following:
Perko Flush-Pro http://www.boatersworld.com/product/357260074msk.htm
Superflush 400 http://superflushsystems.com/sterndrive.html
Neutra-Salt (a push button system): http://www.volvopentastore.com/QL_Neutra_Salt_Engine_Flushing_Kit/dm/view_id.352393
And there is the option of simply plumbing in some bronze ball valves (or buy one pre-built like this one): http://www.marinetechgroup.com/
What have others done - any feedback?
