On a 100 foot hose, 3/4 i.d., and the earmuffs modified with dual 5/8 i.d. hose, 5/8 i.d. fittings and the Y pipe gutted out.
I get 5 gallons a minute, and 5 gallons a minute w/o the earmuffs.
Question would be is 5 gallons enough for idle to flush engine w/o hurting the seapump?
Only mod left would be to cut the hose down to 30 feet and run the boat next to the house rather than in its parking place.
Thanks

I dont see shortening the hose doing much...X amount of water goes in to the hose, X amount has to come out the other side, whether its 3 feet or 300....

Not 100 % sure but doesn't the power steering shaft have an Allen head recess in it ? If so you can just loosen the belt and and spin it without taking the pulley off. Makes that part a little simpler at least.
