inventing a different kind of fresh water engine flush

(C. Sadler) wrote in message om...
I have a boat with 2 each 380hp 454s, a 7Kw Westerbeke genset, and air
conditioning. (no consumption jokes, please)

I run this in Fl. salt water. Because of the waterlift muffler systems
on the engines and the gen, I can't use the Mercruiser fresh flush
inlets on the engines. They need to be run, and fresh water must
replace salt water at the pump intakes. Same for the air conditioner
pump.

I'm thinking about rigging a water tank in the engine room that would
have hoses attached and then have them Y into the water pickups,
probably after the sea strainers, with a Y valve, or gate valves.

Maybe I am missing something here, but why not just hook a fresh water
hose in at this point instead of trying to feed it with a tank?
