Motor flushing

After fishing in saltwater, I stop at the boat launch in Moss Bluff on the Calcasieu river. I leave the boat "clamped" to the trailer and back all the way down to help wash the boat trailer. I then pull up some and crank up the engine to flush out the engine.

I usually only run the engine for about 5 minutes. Cold water does not dissolve salt as good so maybe during the winter the flush time should be longer.
