My Pleasure pal,
If you need to post anything up and you don't Suss out how before someone does a video, drop me a PM - and we can do the same again.

Have to say, that corrosion is horrendous :thud
most if not all of us on here flush the engine thoroughly after sea use, and to be honest, I do mine after fresh water too... you can't do enough to maintain in my opinion.
It goes back to the days of mechanics training... "prevention is better than cure"

I have actually found that more damage can be caused by flushing in tap water if you live in a hard water area which leaves lime scale all over. I am toying with either buying some demin water to fill up the barrel I use to run the engines in or to buy a filter. Once the water is in the barrel with the lid on, it could last all year with just a few top-ups. Just a thought at the moment but real food for thought.

Phil
