Hey looking at your pictures, I see you use ear muff style garden hose adapter to run or flush motor..... You do know there is a garden hose fitting up by the motor cover on the right side right?..... Awesome motors I have an 05 wouldnt get rid of it
Thought that was just a quick wash out of interior, not for when one wash running the motor. So do you use it and do the same as the what I'm doing with the earmuff attachment at the bottom plate?
That would be nice.
UPDATE.....did some searching. Manual saves do not run motor while connected to hose adapter. Can ruin impeller and water pump.
Other forum comments....never beyond idle if so. Most say the same as manual.....do not do it. Use muffs.
On my old boat, I followed directions of not running motor for flushing (T8) with the hose adapter. As did a friend of mine with a pair of yami's (150, 8) on his boat. My boss on the other hand, thinks that is exactly what that hook up is for, and not only runs the motor, but throttles it WAY up and leaves it running for a while. He has replaced water pumps, and just recently a head gasket, but swears it has nothing to do with the hose hook-up, even though the mechanic has said otherwise.
My motto: On expensive toys, follow the directions.
