Flush kit... I do not like having it on the side of the boat. It was there when I got her, and I understand putting it there versus on top of the transom since the Silent Thunder blocked access.
With that said....
I love how this thing is set up. The flush attachment connects to a set of valves behind the seat in the bulge. I can open up the valves to supply water to one or both engines to handle flushing.
The whole thing is a Perko hose connection to a
sst of ball valves that control water flow. Outputs go to a tee into the seawater pump. I hook up the hose, apply water pressure, and then open a valve per engine. Simple.

Now that your ST platform is gone you could move your flush connections directly above the drives like in the video I posted, I believe there should already be a hole there from a Through Bolt. You could always just put a water dump fitting where your flush connection is now. Tips Look Good!
