Hp 500......one more novice question
 
Ok so learning a lot about my engine on my newly purchased boat on here....one more question I don't trailer trailer my boat it stays on a lift in the water , I would like to flush my engine after a weekend of saltwater use, what is the best way to do this, my bilge has a fitting adapter for a garden hose, I've been told a normal garden hose will not be enough volume or pressure to satisfy cooling my motor. I don't want to wreck another water pump, I'd like to know how you guys do it. Hoping garbage pails of water isn't my only option. Thanks for your input, I'm new at boating...gotta start somewhere

A good industrial garden hose, with enough pressure feeding it will be fine for normal idle flushing.

Garden hose will be fine for cleansing.
