If you've been out one day and you know you'll be back out the next, worth flushing or not??

I didn't and my reasoning was that if I was doing an overnighter I wouldn't be flushing it.

While I don't think it is necessary, I know of some commercial boats/motors that never get flushed.
I do it because I always give the boat a tub so it's clean for the next day.
Always top off the tank also.
OCD.....when it comes to my boat.....YOU BET YA!

Wayno,
You will get plenty fors and againsts here but I can tell ya from experience, you don't need to flush it if using it regularly even a few days without a flush wont hurt it. If it was that bad you wouldn't be allowed to put them in salt water at all.
Some people will insist its done daily but I recon that is just to make you all warm and fuzzy inside
