Do any of you guys use Salt Away on a rinse for your motor? Thanks

After every trip. I have one of the adapters that fits on the hose and just connect it to the motor and flush. Works great.

I have experience to the contrary, as I've yet to flush a motor in 40+ years of boating. But then again, I boat on a saltwater estuary that is brackish way up river.

If boating where the salinity is high, then yes I'd probably flush. But I still opine that routine waterpump and t-stat service is a much more reliable service to ensure long life.

I agree with Dale. We've got 10+ outboards, all run in salt, fresh, brackish, and muddy water (commercial marine work). No boat stays in the water longer than 3 weeks at a time, and no engine has EVER been flushed with water or any commercial product. We've yet to have a problem, but we change waterpumps every 2 years, like clockwork.
