Default Proper "ear muff" engine flush ?

What type of ear muff hose style do you all use or recommend?

I know that quicksilver has one that supports alpha and Bravo.

Can you use the rectangular dual feed type as well? It seems like the rectangular cups are a bit shallow compared to the more bubble shape found on the quicksilver mercury version.

I just don't want to deprive the motor of sufficient water.

A single hose connection is ample just make sure it attached securely and dont rev the engine it will suck the hose dry then you're rebuilding the pump, I think I have one dont need any more its like new

That's actually the one I have! Just wondering if those rectangular cups might be too shallow?

Only issue i’ve had with muffs is when the ears become hard after bunch of years. They don’t conform to seal outdrive well.
