Moved to salt water

Hi, I’ve got a hurricane SunDeck sport with a Mericruiser 4.3 I/O.  I love it.

I just moved it from a lake to saltwater.  It is docked in the water at the lagoon near our home.  I had the bottom painted and anodes installed, but I’m not sure if I’ll need to flush it after each use.  I checked the motor and don’t see any obvious place to hook a hose to.

Please help a saltwater nebbie.  Do I need to flush it out?  If so, how?

    I would definitely flush it using muffs. Any boating supply store will have them. As a note, I always flush my motor even after fresh water runs.
