How long can you leave your Yamaha in the water?

How long can you leave our jet boats in saltwater (brackish) before having to flush?
The longest I usually go is five days before I take it out. I'm looking into either installing tow valves for flushing or just carrying clamps.

@Hike ....don't know how long you can leave a boat in salt water but i do know that salt water and brackish water are not the same salinity. For salt water you use Zinc anodes, for brackish water (mix of slat and fresh like tidal flats) you use an Aluminum anode while for fresh water you use a Magnesium anode. So my question is do you slip your boat in salt or brackish as there is quite a difference corrosion wise.

I flush engines each ride. I keep it in the water for 3 week then take out and clean by water preasure all grown in the water.
