Default Fresh Water Flush Quick Disconnect

What are you guys using for fresh water flush? I have the mercruiser system and I broke the hose connector and I am not about to pay $130 for another one.

Junk!

I assume the metal Perko type - can you guys give me some part numbers and suggestions?

These are what I use for flush and water tank fill. Don't recall them costing that much when I bought them

As an alternative to Perko:

My VR1 has the Jabsco fitting on the bottom of the second link that US1 Fountain posted. Screw in the flush adapter, hook up garden hose, water on and start up.
