I have a bronze three way valve (T valve) in series with my watermaker raw water intake, the normally closed end has a garden hose fitting on it. To flush/pickle my watermaker I just connect the ER garden hose and flip the valve, then run the watermaker for a few minutes.
It would work the same to flush anything else and there's no plastic parts below the water line.

BTW, if you need a quick start to marine systems, corrosion issues, etc., you would be well served to get a copy of Nigel Calder's book Boatowner's Mechanical and Electrical Manual.

Welcome and good luck!

I recommend against the Perco flush pro--12% of the amazon reviewers agreed that it's going to fail within a year....not good odds when pumping sea water into a boat.

You are flushing a air conditioning with 5/8" hose lines or After Cooler on some engine.
I must have missed something in Albuquerque.

Why? Especially with the older cruisair a/c's most of these boats have they're made out of a good quality bronze/copper material that lasts forever. You may see them get repaired or replaced for failing compressors or sensors or electrical stuff, but I've never seen or even heard of one that got replaced because saltwater ate through the tubing. I think adding flushing attachments is a solution in search of a problem.
