How about your exhaust elbow? Freshwater flushing can reduce the inevitable corrosion in that part. Depending on how your engine is installed. Parts of the raw water cooling system that are above the water line may drain of water, eventually building up a layer of salt on those parts. To each their own, but I think the few minutes it takes to flush motor at the end of a weekend is worth it. If I was a long distance cruiser, I might think otherwise.
