Flushing the pumps necessary?

[LawnDart]

Do I really need to flush the pumps on my boat? Is it just for salt water corrosion?

I've never done it on my SPX...........since I run in fresh water and everything dries out in the desert it seems like a bit overkill.

You probably don't need to flush the pumps, however it's not a bad idea to flush the motor, it keeps sand, dirt and grit from building up.

I'm with Lou. I rode on Lake Erie for many years and never even flushed the engines as I had closed loop cooling systems. But with a 2 stroke I would as the water runs in reverse and does "flush" the engine.
