- Twin 4.3 Liter Mercruiser MPI w/Alpha1 Drives - 220 hp each
We very recently bought a 280 Sundancer (2002) with twin 4.3 liter Mercruiser motors and Alpha One outdrives. We're docking it at a private residence on a 10,000 lb lift.
My question is what is the best way to flush the motors? From what I have read, there are no flush kits available for the Alpha One drives because of the impeller location. So it appears there's no way for me to install something on the engines that would allow me to do the freshwater flushing from on the boat.
I also cannot reach either of the outdrives from the dock in order to muffs on it. I'm assuming other people have faced this situation before as well, and am looking for any advice you have to offer. Thanks!
