I'm fairly new to motor boats, we now have a Mercruiser 5.0, operated in

without running it, anyone know for sure?

If you're running in salt water, you should REALLY have FWC (ie a heat
exchanger, so the engine is cooled with coolant (antifreeze/water) and the
coolant is cooled with the salt water. If you have this, I don't think there's a
big need for flushing. If not, get it!
