There is a fellow on the board that is custom making a muff that should work pretty good. I'd tell you how he was doing it (it's really simple) but he was very protective of his idea. I think he was 29scarab. PM me if this is wrong and I'll try to find his name at home.

I called IMCO yesterday and was very surprised (and disappointed) that they don't even made a flush muff for their lowers! How can they offer a product without any supporting accessories? The sales guy told me I could put the lower in a large bucket of water - yeah, right - like I want to worry about the water level in the bucket while I'm running the motor while the boat is on the trailer. Thumbs down to IMCO.

It is drivfing me crazy a month ago I seen in the back of a boat mag a little ad for a flush muff for the IMCO I tried to find it again but could not. I will dig a little deeper. The reason I remember this is I was looking for the same thing and could not find any so I plumbed my sea strainers too. And a few days after doing so I seen the ad. It's out there.

Try this link, don't now if they will fit but worth a try:
Call Bob's machine shop 1-800-966-3493 or visit http://www.bobsmachine.com (look under the link for storeage boxes at the bottom of teh page) They sell the flush kit for $24.95 I think.

I just ordered one from Bob's for my Imco lowsers...just to try it.
The alternative is to put a "T" fitting in the sea water pump intake line (easy access at the rear of the motor) and plumb it to a water inlet fitting. It need not be a thru-hull type fitting. In twin applications a single inlet hose can be used with valves to feed either engine. No muss, no fuss...... Just want to have a "quick fix" type flusher on hand....

I bought one but haven't tried it out yet.
I did fit it up and it looks like it will.
Very simple piece
