496 (Mag or HO) Fresh water flush fitting.
I know all about the FWC system on the 496HO. I know I can pump and drain the water out.
I have already plumbed a T into my sea-water pump so I can run the engine off the hose without dealing with muffs. In this year's Miami boat show, several of the 496s had what looked to be a Mercury installed Fresh Water Flush fitting.
This bracket I am speaking of was up near the pink antifreeze coolant tank on the top starboard side of the motor. It had a little canvas covered hose that leads down to where your T fitting goes in place. The bracket had a garden hose female fitting on it. It looked perfect, and was nicely installed. Several engines had this, but I failed to get any pictures.
I have tried Doller Offshore and Marc and BAM Marine. Can anyone help me get my hands on two of these brackets with the hose end fittings?
Thank you in advance.
