Flush muffs and foam ear plugs for the low water pickups.... And I only boat in freshwater. It's not that I hate my neighbors, I just like noisy motors.

Do you have a normal flush system installed? Like a male garden hose bib with a lever to switch motors. I don't have pickups on my drives so that's how I run mine
