I have already plumbed a T into my sea-water pump so I can run the engine off the hose without dealing with muffs. In this year's Miami boat show, several of the 496s had what looked to be a Mercury installed Fresh Water Flush fitting. This bracket I am speaking of was up near the pink antifreeze coolant tank on the top starboard side of the motor. It had a little canvas covered hose that leads down to where your T fitting goes in place. The bracket had a garden hose female fitting on it. It looked perfect, and was nicely installed. Several engines had this, but I failed to get any pictures. I have tried Doller Offshore and Marc and BAM Marine. Can anyone help me get my hands on two of these brackets with the hose end fittings? Thank you in advance. Did you ever find this kit cheaper anywhere else i love the one in the picture someone posted |

Same thing, different color and you get the whole kit under 80 bucks. Not just the fitting. :drink:

No prob. I'm just sad I didn't come the conclusion that I was going to use a thru hull fitting for my boat. I now have 2 of ends I don't need.
