Hi,
I have read some of the posts about using vinegar to flush their saltwater motors and want to give it a try. I have been using Salt Eliminator to wash down the boat and external motor. It has an attachment that mixes the S.E. with water to form a spray. I intend to use the attachment, fill it full of vinegar, then run it through the fresh water flush near middle of the motor, then put the attachment inline with my motor muffs then run the motor with the water turned on full force.

My questions are:
1. Will the full strength vinegar be to much acid? I figured it would
not since the attachment mixes the S.E. with water as you use it to
spray the solution.
2. Do I need to run the vinegar through both the fresh water flush and
through the muffs? Don't enough about the design of the motor to
to know if this would be redundant.

Thanks in advance for the advice.
