Flush Kit for Merc XR Drive

Is there Outdrive Flush Kit for the Merc XR Drive that covers both the side and front cooling inlet holes?

Some use duct tape, but Merc makes this for the nose and use the regular for the sides. This is one link only, you can make something up or find cheaper

bright colored heat shrink tape or bright colored duck tape. The bright color is a reminder to peel the tape off when done.

Putting a flush kit on my boat has been a favorite mod. I threw away the plastic Perko valve and put a stainless tee in right before the water pump and it works like a champ. Makes winterizing easier as well.
