Hi all,
I am new to this forum and considering getting my first boat which is a 2009 Sea-Ray 205 with V8 Mercruiser 5.0.
I want to keep the boat in a saltwater marina and am concerned with the problems which may occur if I cannot flush the engine. The thing is I cannot find exact information regarding if there is a possibility to flush these engines in the water (I have heard of fresh water flush kits you can get?) Do these work? I see many other boats which are birthed in the marina and I assume they don't all have problems.
Another issue is that I believe the 5.0L is raw water cooled rather than having it's own seperate cooling system like the 4.2 so hence should be flushed every time?
Any advice / help greatly appreciated!
Thanks
Daniel
