Here’s everything you need to know about using the FlowVac for quick, effective boat and car care.
What Is the FlowVac?
The FlowVac is a versatile cleaning and flushing device that connects to your existing water source and Salty Captain's Musket foam gun. It creates controlled suction and pressure to flush out salt, sand, and dirt from hard-to-reach spots like engine bays, hulls, undercarriages, and chassis rails.
Benefits of Using the FlowVac
- Deep flush system for hard-to-reach areas
- Reduces corrosion risk from trapped salt and debris

- Compatible with Salty Captain wash and flush solutions
-
Eco-friendly – reduces water waste with targeted cleaning
Step-by-Step Guide: How to Use the FlowVac
Step 1: Connect the FlowVac
Attach the FlowVac unit to your hose line and connect it to the Captain’s Musket foam gun if you’re using it for product application. The setup takes just seconds and requires no tools.
Step 2: Fill with Your Preferred Solution
Pour in your choice of cleaning or flushing liquid:
- Engine Flush Solution for marine engines
- Salt Wash Detergent for hulls and exteriors
-
Interior or all purpose cleaner for automotive use
Use the built-in measurement lines to ensure the right dilution ratio.
Step 3: Spray & Flush
Aim the nozzle at your engine, wheel arches, or underbody. The FlowVac sprays while simultaneously drawing away loose debris, water, and cleaner. It’s perfect for flushing tight gaps and crevices where grime hides.
Step 4: Rinse & Dry
After the solution does its job, use the FlowVac to rinse with clean water. For faster drying, switch to air-dry mode (if equipped) or let the vehicle air-dry naturally especially after applying a Drip Dry product.
Where to Use the FlowVac
- Boats & Jet Skis: Rinse salt and flush marine engines after every trip.
- 4WDs & Cars: Clean chassis rails, undercarriages, and wheel wells after beach or off-road driving.
-
Trailers & Tinnies: Remove sand, salt, and grime with ease.
