Here is a link with the flush connectors for the Mercruiser flush kit.
http://www.psepmarineparts.biz/store...nector_kit.htm They seal when not connected so there is no need for a valve. I just turn the hose on with the quick-connect hooked up. Hook it up to the quick-connect on the motor and start it up. Quick and easy. It back-flows through your outdrive to flush that out as well. You can also flush the engine while it is in the water. I like it better then the flush kits from Perko with the check valves because there is a lot less to go wrong with this setup. It plums in-line with your 1.25 inch hose from the outdrive to your water pump. Very quick and easy install (if you have good access). |

I just have a tee plumbed into the hose right before the seawater pump. From that tee, a hose goes up to the hose fittings. With the motor off and water hooked to the fitting, water will run out the drive. But as soon as I start the motor, the suction from the pump pulls the water into it, and the flow stops going out the drive. So simple, Merc should do it. :) Only thing to watch is too make sure the cap is secured back on when done, otherwise it will be a air leak and the seawater pump won't pull water thru the drive when in the lake. |
I'm actually looking for a quick disconnect like you would see on an air line. I don't mind flipping a valve on the strainer. I just don't want the hose going over the side ( yea I know pet pev). I just want to snap it into the hull side. I may just make one.
