Question 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.

List is $136 but I wonder what cost is? Afterall it's only a few clamps, a hose, a T, and a fitting...
