aftercooler bottom zinc

[Brendon]

Hi Is there any reason I cant remove the bottom zinc and drain the old style aftercooler on a 6bta every time I use it it seems it may be a problem having salt water sit in there half way up all the time thanks

Any reason why?  Not changing them often enough.

Flush it

I’ve been on this site like 2 days so don’t know much about anything, but I think you’re going to hear folks suggest installing a fresh water flush system to clear out the entire raw water cooling system, including the aftercoolers, after you run.  If you care enough to pull the zinc every time, might as well flush the whole deal. There are some exciting options described on this site and boatdiesel for setting up the flush system. Good luck!
