if not equipped with the salt water series engine flush connection, where can you flush the engine? I see there is a hose you can disconnect on the engine that is for raw water, can you just hook a garden hose up and flush that way? I used in brackish water this weekend.

Make your own flush kit, or you can buy a fake a lake- or install an inline perko flush kit.

here's a cheap diy solution I'm using. Beats paying 40 bucks for the flush kits. Go by a hardware store and buy plunger and a male hose end. Make small hole (smaller than hose tube diameter) and then shove the hose male end in. I use the wood blocks to bridge the gap between plunger and concrete.

That is not a bad way to winterize your ballast tanks. I am going to make one. As for flushing I have the flush rig from the factory since I bought a Vandall.

NO WAY YOUR IN THE 757. Hit me up and lets go out! Did you get your boat from centerville?
