In sea-water flushing idea?

[exoh_e]

Hi,

I have a 720 and a 657. Here’s my idea:

I will create a shutoff valve between the hose that is sucking in seawater. Then, I will have a normal T setup to the hose connection. As long as the shutoff is on, I should be able to flush while in the water, correct?

Usually, I can take the ski out, but not always due to the tides, and then I have work the next day. So, it might be in the water for three days. (I have a dock.) Normal salt rinsing in the engine bay will occur, and apparently, Salt-Away is 100% non-hazardous, so I shouldn’t be harming the environment.

The risk I’m taking is that the impeller shaft may corrode over time. I plan on adding a zinc, but I know it probably won’t help much. Maybe I will just try to pull it from the rear of my dock.

Any thoughts? Thanks for your time.

You shouldn't leave jet skis in the water for extended periods although I see many people who do. Its to easy for these to sink. All it takes is 1 hose clamp to fail and it'll sink. Best bet is to bite the bullet at just get a lift, mine make my life so much easier even tho I can just launch them off a beach a couple houses down.

Yes, your flushing method will work, just make sure you don't forget to open the valve.
