Just flush it with fresh water when you're done! Many boats are in salt water full time, the main thing is the exhaust system and outdrive but that's not going to a problem for occasional use.

THANKS FOR THE IDEAS

Was thinking about having a flush system installed depending on cost and how effective it would be

If you're only doing this once or twice you don't need a flush system but you should run the engine on the water muffs long enough to get the thermostat to open so the engine gets flushed. If in salt regularly then yes it's a good idea
