Default Flushing engine on top gun

are the levers to be pulled up or down while flushing. Driving the boat. Want to be sure of lever location while running also. Lol

My 1993 was rigged valves are closed when pulled up and open when pulled down.

So when running down position.......when flushing and running on hose up.

Open (Valve lever would be inline with hoses)
Closed (Valve letter is perpendicular to hoses)

What is the purpose of the valves. My cafe has those but then has 90 degree turn valves on the sea strainer as well

Correct! Look at your valves. This is correct. Have a awesome day my friend. Can’t wait to see this ship finished. It’s going to be awesome. Thanks for all your post here and on Facebook. I am really enjoying seeing your dream finally coming together like you dreamed.❤️❤️❤️
