Flushing engine after use on salt water-boat kept at slip

So, yeah, reaching down and putting a flush muff on each drive is not too convenient :)

BUT... you could install a bronze T into the intake hose before the sea water pump... use a 1-1/4"x3/4"x1-1/4". Use water/exhaust rated hose and run a length to convenient spot where you can install a shutoff valve. Then continue the run to where you install a hose end fitting. Now, attach the flush hose and open the valve and start the engine. Yes, some salt water will still be sucked in - but most of the water going through your system will be fresh.

FYI, don't use the "Perko" system - it can get clogged and/or the spring can get stuck.

NOTE: The person you originally quoted asked about flushing an "engine"... you obviously don't need to worry about the actual engine.

Happened to run into this on youtube, looks similar to what you described:

 
Hi Matt, I installed something similar to my 2015 310 sundancer with 350 mag bravo3 when I moved down south and it worked out well. Are you Bravo 3 or V-Drive?
