[C320-list] Fresh Water Engine Flush

[Brian McLamb]

It is a good hidea as the sea water micro organisms can take up residence
in the heat exchanger.  Several people in our area do it once or twice a
year and we are surprised at the accumulated junk that it flushes out.
There is a photo gallery shot of someone that has the arrangement you are
considering, but my limited brain cells do not recall in which specific
owners/technical gallery it is to be found.  Hopefully that individual will
see your post and respond.  I am in Pamlico Sound region of N C with
brackish water and it does help.  Not sure about the frequency you may
require.
