Can't flush out the salt water !

[Plasma George]

Gents,
I'm at my Dad's shore house in Sea Isle City, NJ, and his outside plumbing pipes are broke. There are no neighbors around to ask to "borrow" some fresh water from, let alone if they have their outside plumbing even on.

So, we were cruisin' in the bay today and will be tomorrow. Can I wait 2 days to flushout the 120hp Force outboard ? Or should I walk up and down the street turning on faucets trying to avoid any damage ?

it will be fine forever. Flushing regularly is a relatively new process--a good process, but your motor won't notice if you skip a few times.
