My 4hp short shaft is pretty easy to flush in a five gallon paint bucket. Smaller than a trash can so it would be easier to pack along; you could even store your anchor rode in it and put it to double duty.

I don't always return home after a sail and I'm looking for a quick and easy method of flushing my motor while traveling. The traditional flush cups are too big and will not fit over the intake hole due to the location of the hole. Has anyone ever tapped the the intake hole and used a small fitting. I was considering using a small male fitting with a gate valve (for adjusting flow) connected to a short tube that connects to a traditional hose fitting. If anyone has an easier, tried and true method, I'd appreciate it if you'd share. Thanks in Advance, Skip M-15 1982 #201 Brandy ________________________________________________________________________ AOL now offers free email to everyone.
